Catullus 4 is a poem by the ancient Roman writer Catullus . This poem, which concerns the retirement of a well-traveled ship, borrows heavily from Ancient Greek vocabulary, and also uses Greek grammar in several sections, and makes numerous geographic references and elaborate Litotic Double Negative s in a list-like manner. Catullus 4 has been viewed as everything from a Parody of Epic Poetry to another piece of writing in which the Ship Of State Metaphor is used. The Meter is Iambic Trimeter . TEXT NOTES |
