Latin poem by Catullus

Catullus 86 is a Latin poem of six lines in elegiac couplets by the Roman poet Catullus.

Analysis

On the inferiority of Quintia to Lesbia, Catullus further treats in 43.1ff. Quintia is evidently not the Sister of the Quintius of 82.1ff. and 100.1ff; for this poem dates from the time of the faith of Catullus in Lesbia, at which time Quintius was his friend.
