Catullus 2

Catullus 2 es un poema del poeta romano Cayo Valerio Catulo (87 a. C. – 54 a. C) que describe la relación afectuosa entre la amante de Catulo, Lesbia, y su gorrión mascota. La métrica de este poema es de versos endecasilabos, una forma común en la poesía de Catulo.[1]

Este poema, junto con el resto de los poemas de Catulo, sobrevivió en un único manuscrito descubierto hacia el 1.300 en Verona, y del cual todavía se conservan tres copias. Los numerosos siglos de copiar de las copias, dejó a los estudiosos con dudas sobre varias palabras del poema, aunque se llegó a una versión de consenso.[2]
