CONFRONTATION WITH REALITY IN CATULLUS 51
Abstract
It is hardly possible to focus on Catullus 51, without keeping Sappho fro 31 also in mind. Not only because the one poem can be read as a translation (of sorts) of the otl\er, but also since both poems describe a confrontation with reality where a situation of psychosomatic suffering threatens to overwhelm the individual.! Both poems reflect the magnificent rally of mental and poetic capacity to combat this possibility.
