Gaius Valerius Catullus (84–54 BC) — the greatest lyricist of Ancient Rome, the younger contemporary of Cicero and Caesar, the predecessor of Vergil and other poets of the «golden age» of Roman literature. The creator of subjective lyrics, the leader of the Neoteric poets (the "new poets"), he was born in Verona and died in Rome under unclear circumstances. He wrote «poetic things», poems on mitological topics, as well as elegies and epigrams. They were united in one Book of Catullus of Verona, which includes more than 120 poems. Catullus was rediscovered as a poet in the early fourteenth century, and his poetry had a significant influence on Renaissance poets. He was not a school author, but he was quoted in poetry theory courses, particularly at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Although Catullus's poems began to be translated into Ukrainian more than a hundred years ago (among the translators were Taras Franko and Mykola Zerov), this is the first time that the complete works of the poet have been published in Ukrainian translations. The publication is bilingual. The Latin original is based on Renaissance manuscripts and editions. The commentary takes into account textual studies of Catullus from the Renaissance to the present day.
