Gaius Valerius [[Catullus]] was a Roman poet who lived during [[The Roman Republic]]. His poetry moved away from the [[Ancient Greece|ancient Greek]] epics about gods and heroes to something closer to everyday life. His poetry has been and still is greatly admired thoughout the ages and influenced poets such as [[Ovid]], [[Virgil]] and [[Christopher Marlowe]]. Unfortunately, his most famous poem nowadays is ''Catullus 16'', which has been censored for centuries because it describes some unpleasant situations.
