Seeing as how Catullus thought Lesbia was soo attractive I would have to disagree looking at this picture. I mean I don't think she is worth writing all those poems.
standards of beauty always change but if im not mistaken the Greeks loved the human form. she may not be the most beautiful but her body itself is whats fascinating to them
This is a picture of Lesbia and Catullus I found!

ReplyDeleteIn latin class we read about Catullus and Lesbia, but we had to translate it from latin so it blew.
