Aventine (Italy) (search for this): text comm, poem 34
A festival hymn to Diana, written, as usual, as if to be sung by a chorus of girls and boys, but whether responsively or not it is impossible to determine. If so, however, vv. 1-4 and 21-24 were doubtless sung by the united chorus, vv. 1-8 and 13-16 by the girls alone, and vv. 9-12 and 17-20 by the boys alone. The composition was perhaps suggested by the annual festival to the Diana of the famous temple on the Aventine, held at the time of full moon (i.e. the Ides) in the month of August. To be compared with this are three odes of Horace: Hor. Carm. 1.21, Hor. Carm. 4.6, and the Carmen SaeculareHor. CS 1ff., in all of which, however, Apollo is celebrated with Diana. On the meter see Intr. 82b. in fide: cf. Hor. Carm. 4.6.33 Deliae tutela deae. integri: modifying both nouns; so also in v. 3. cf. Catul. 61.36

nvitation to an otherwise unknown poet, Caecilius of Como, to visit Catullus at Verona, with incidentally a little pleasantry about a love-affair of Caecilius, and a neat compliment about his forthcoming poem. This address could not have been written before 59 B.C. (cf. v. 4 n.), and was written while Catullus was at Verona. Two occasions only are surely known on which he was at his ancestral home after 59, once immediately on his return from Bithynia in the summer of 56, and again somewhat more than a year later, a few months before his death. The poem may well date from one or the other of these periods.—Meter, Phalaecean. tenero: as a writer of love-poetry; cf. Ovid (with whom it is a favorite word) Ov.
