Amor et violentia : a representação do homoerotismo nos carmina pederásticos de Catulo e da violência nos epigramas da priapedia latina

Abstract

This article intends, in general, to interpret the representation of homoeroticism in the Catullian pederastic poetic productions and of violence in the so-called Latin Priapeia of ancient Rome, under the notion of ancient thought regarding sexuality. For this, 10 poems were selected, being 05 of the Carmina Catulli and 05 of the Latin Priapeia. With this article, it was possible to understand the socio-cultural portrait that emerges from these representations, and also to associate them with the way in which the Catullian pederastic relations and the violence in the Latin Priapeia are aligned with more general issues, such as power, pleasure and social stratification. Keywords: catulli carmina; Latin priapeia; pederasty; homoeroticism; violence. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
