Hardback. A study of Catullus's influence on Horace, this work shows that the earlier poet was probably the important source of inspiration for Horace's "Odes", the later author's magnum opus. By illustrating how Horace often found his own voice even as he acknowledged Catullus's genius, it guides us to an appreciation of the earlier poet as well. Series: Martin Classical Lectures.
