Question
In a 2009 discussion with Mary Beard, NPR bleeped out even the Latin version of a poem by this author addressed to Aurelius and Furius. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this author whose Carmen 16 was often left partially or completely untranslated due to its graphic language. This Roman poet addressed many of his poems to his lover, Lesbia.
ANSWER: Gaius Valerius Catullus
[10h] Miriam Kamil notes that one of the “more fanciful” instances of censorship of Catullus was to pretend that this male addressee of four love poems by Catullus was a girl named Crastinia with a boyish nickname.
ANSWER: Juventius
[10m] Catullus 63, sometimes censored for describing the priest Attis’s mutilation out of devotion to Cybele, uses the rare galliambic meter instead of Catullus’s usual meters, such as this meter that was also used for the Iliad and Odyssey.
ANSWER: dactylic hexameter [prompt on heroic hexameter]
