Catullus 64 is an epyllion or little epic poem written by Catullus. Catullus’ longest poem it retains his famed linguistic witticisms while expressing an appropriately epic tone.Though ostensibly concerning itself with the marriage of Peleus and the sea-nymph Thetis (parents of the famed Greek hero Achilles) a sizeable portion of the poem’s lines are devoted to the desertion of Ariadne by the legendary Theseus.
