Hey history buffs and culture vultures! Welcome to the first blog post inspired by our sizzling new podcast Hot History Goss episode, Wattpadicus Eroticus. we're teleporting back to Ancient Rome to unravel the enigmatic life of Catullus, a poet who would've set both Twitter and TikTok ablaze with his fiery verses and scandalous love life.
Catullus was a f**kboi by today standards, probably.
Catullus isn't just a poet; he's a legend of love, heartbreak, and controversy. Imagine a mix of modern-day drama and ancient Roman flair, and you've got a snapshot of his world. His writings, ranging from passionate love poems to scathing satirical pieces, were as diverse as the playlists on your Spotify Wrapped. Sidebar: I still do not know what Damp Funk is. Think of him as the ancient equivalent of JustGirlyThings, captivating the Roman elite with his words, except way more explicit because he's pissed that his best friend who he dated kissed his new girl.
Was Catullus the OG of risqué content? Absolutely! His poems about love affairs with both men and women were as bold as they were controversial. They pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable in Roman society, and if he were around today, he'd probably be trending for his unapologetic approach to love and sexuality. Imagine his works sparking heated debates on Reddit or being the subject of spicy memes on Instagram. He'd definitely be a spam IG admin. Think about it.
