Latin Translation?

[Poncherelli]

Any AP or college latin students here that know where i can find some good translations of Catullus' poems? I'm translating right now and mine is really weak and i'd like to having something solid to check it against. Thanks.

try searching for it

i already searched and found a bunch of crap, thats why i'm wondering if anyone has any good links to maybe a university site or some obscure site that doesn't show up on the front of all the search engines. I looked like 5 pages back on google and ran into crap about Catullus in modern day song and jazz and stuff like that, but no really relavent translations.

When I took Latin 5 back in high school, we read Catullus' Carmina. I found this great little book at the local library, called Carmina Catulli. It was a small blue hardback book, that all of the poems translated. If I find the book, I'll give you more detail about it. BTW, I enjoyed Catullus more than the other stuff we studied (Aeneid, Caesar, Cicero, etc.)

there was one poet we read who's first few hundred poems went along the tune of "she's god's gift to man" and then abruptly turn into "stupid whore". was that catullus? i forget the guy's name. he was funny as all hell though.

We should have lots of people here from Latin America who should be able to help.

Damn, I wish i remembered something frm my AP Latin days Sad, isn't it? Good luck,,,to me, studying Latin was a waste of time, damn dead language, but i guess i liked a little bit

knowing latin is more impressive than any other language imho. i had a very enthusiastic prof who would reply to your post with "latin's not dead, it's just sleeping..." and get a far away look in his eyes, no doubt imagining the resurgence of rome.

Here are some links which arrive to you by way of Denis -

A verse-by-verse translation of all of Catullus's poems.

This page gives a word-by-word translation through links with all the poems listed in the left column.

Hope that helps

that sounds like Catullus. he would rip on people in his poems.
