Abstract

In this paper I argue that Catullus 32 constitutes a sustained engagement with Hesiod’s Theogony. In addition to the humor previously identified by scholars, the poem also contains an elaborate intertextual joke. I base my argument on the evidence of the eighth line’s exaggerated sexual boast, the oft-disputed name of the addressee, the poem’s strange logic of invitation, and Catullus’ self-presentation in the poem’s closing lines. I conclude that the poem is a humorous reflection on the nature of poetic inspiration.

卡图卢斯、赫西奥德和缪斯女神

在本文中，我认为《卡图卢斯 32》是对赫西俄德《神曲》的持续参与。除了学者们之前指出的幽默之外，这首诗还包含一个精心设计的互文笑话。我的论点基于以下证据：第八行夸张的性自夸、经常引起争议的收信人姓名、诗歌奇怪的邀请逻辑以及卡图卢斯在诗歌结尾行的自我介绍。我的结论是，这首诗是对诗歌灵感本质的幽默反思。

期刊介绍： Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
