Superare divos? Comparing Gods and Mortals in the Short Poems of Catullus

Summary/Abstract: The present analysis concentrates on the comparisons of mortals to gods in Catullus' poems. Such a comparison appears three times in the corpus of Catullus’ short poems, namely in c. 51, 70 and 72. Even though the similes themselves may appear analogous, it may be argued that their function is different in c. 51 and different in two latter examples.
