Catullus as Simonides: An Elegiac Lineage in Catullus 68
ABSTRACT:This paper argues that fr. 11 W2 from the so-called new Simonides is among the many intertexts for Catullus 68. Simonides' fragmentary elegiacs commemorating those who fought in the Persian Wars offer a parallel for Catullus' inverted invocation and his engagement with Homer. This parallel comes into relief through an oblique recollection of the anecdotal tradition about Simonides. For the reader thinking about Simonides, this recollection equates Catullus and Simonides as poets of commemorative elegy, places the commemoration of Allius in a broader tradition of elegy, and brings poem 68 into focus as an exploration of generic convention.
