Descripción

(Author was Professor of Classics at the University of Alberta) Fictional biography of Clodia "The story of a passionate , intelligent ,patrician woman set in the brilliant decadent Rome of the last days of the free Republic. The woman is Clodia, the lustrous-eyed 'Lesbia" for whom the romantic Catullus burnes so fiercely and who inspired him to write some of the most intense love lyrics of all time. She had a turbulent career, this Clodia. Daughter of one of the proudest houses of Rome . fell under the spell of the dark, enigmatic Catiline, later there were many men in her life - Julius Caesar . her husband the consul Metellus Celer, and Cicero, the great orator, who poured upon her one of the most vitriolic speeches ever composed by this master of invective" 385p.
