Catullus is a favorite of modern readers; he can claim this title more than any other ancient lyricist. The time of his fame began two hundred years ago: before that he had to share his reading love with more eminent classics, but after pre-romance and romance announced that true poetry was where spontaneity and passion, Catullus was closest to this ideal. Next to him, Horace seems cold, Ovid is frivolous, Tibullus is val, Propertius is verbose, and from their Greek samples Alcaeus and Sappho are fragmentary, and Alexandrian epigrammatists are crayons. Of course, learned historians of ancient literature, accustomed to equally respect every poetic word preserved from antiquity, found equally respectful expressions for any of these poets; but they, when it came to Catullus, usually sounded more warmth and liveliness in these words. And there is no need to talk about ordinary readers who are not constrained by scientific etiquette: Catulla was translated more and read more broadly. So it was in the XIX century, so it remains today.
