Catullus Poem 10: A Puppet Show in the Red Light District

[M8E8L]

note the diminutive*

[M8E8L]

tis an excellent creative piece however i think youve misinterpreted this poem

Catullus wasnt in the red light district of Rome, he was at the house of Varus most likely on the Palatine

Also she was a perfectly proper lady and Catullus is simply pissed at her for calling out his lie of literally he "wasnt unable to buy the litterbearers"

meaning he probably was able to buy them he simply didnt which would be the truth as he had said in the poem

also not the diminutive use of Scortillum
