Odi et amo
View through CrossRef
This chapter departs from the fact that Sappho was from Lesbos, and the name of Catullus’ beloved ‘Lesbia’ implies the same. Through an extensive analysis of the name of Lesbia in Catullus, in which the reference to the Lesbian Sappho is important, this chapter shows how the insoluble tensions embedded in ‘Lesbia’ appear as a perfect embodiment of the poetic programme of Catullus. In addition to the Catullan poems where the figure of Lesbia occurs, this chapter investigates the phenomenon of fellatio, linked to λεσβιάζειν and hence potentially to ‘Lesbia’ in the ancient sources, as well as passages from Homer, Hesiod, Alcaeus and Aristophanes, Horace’s Epodes, a large number of epigrams from the Anthologia Palatina, as well as Ausonius’ epigram 71.
