In Poem 66 Catullus does not seem to have translated the final two verses of Callimachus’ Coma Berenices (Call. Aet. 213 Massimilla =110 Pf.), but it was recently suggested that Catull. 67,1-2 could have picked up the end of the Greek text. The paper discusses the coherence of the bridal Anrede to the door in Catull. 67 to the other verses of this poem. The personification of the door is very hard, in that context, and the first couplet of poem 67 seems to be suited for the end of poem 66 and to translate the end of Callimacus’ Coma. This paper’s aim is to suggest that Catull. 67,1-2 are the final couplet of Catull. 66.

Abstract

In Poem 66 Catullus does not seem to have translated the final two verses of Callimachus’ Coma Berenices (Call. Aet. 213 Massimilla =110 Pf.), but it was recently suggested that Catull. 67,1-2 could have picked up the end of the Greek text. The paper discusses the coherence of the bridal Anrede to the door in Catull. 67 to the other verses of this poem. The personification of the door is very hard, in that context, and the first couplet of poem 67 seems to be suited for the end of poem 66 and to translate the end of Callimacus’ Coma. This paper’s aim is to suggest that Catull. 67,1-2 are the final couplet of Catull. 66.
