| Title | Webinar: The Agony and the Ecstasy of Catullus’ Love Affair with Lesbia |
| Body | From http://www.bolchazy.com/webinars.html Helena Dettmer, University of Iowa The Agony and the Ecstasy of Catullus’ Love Affair with Lesbia June 17, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Eastern Time This webinar will focus largely on Catullus’ poems about Lesbia. Part I will show how, with the exception of Poem 36, all the Lesbia poems in the second half of the polymetra can be viewed as negative or unflattering portrayals of Lesbia. Part II will demonstrate how, conversely, the Lesbia poems in the second half of the elegiac epigrams build up to and culminate in the reconciliation of Catullus and Lesbia. Part III of the webinar will focus on the Ariadne and Theseus episode in Poem 64 and will show how Catullus exploits Ariadne's bitter feelings of betrayal and abandonment to reflect his own similar feelings with respect to his treatment by Lesbia.
