The line 30 of Catullus’ c. 68 (id, mi Alli, non est turpe, magis miserum est), read as an answer of the poet to the words of his friend Allius (ll. 27-29), places an ethical and rhetorical clarification. Pointing out that his own situation is not turpis, but rather miser, Catullus provides an indication that is the premise of the love elegy’s feature of the poem.

Abstract
The line 30 of Catullus’ c. 68 (id, mi Alli, non est turpe, magis miserum est), read as an answer of the poet to the words of his friend Allius (ll. 27-29), places an ethical and rhetorical clarification. Pointing out that his own situation is not turpis, but rather miser, Catullus provides an indication that is the premise of the love elegy’s feature of the poem.File in questo prodotto:
