The new fragrance. The old poem. You'll wish you were all nose. Clodia, girlfriend of the poet Catullus, has just gotten a perfume made by Venus and Cupid. It's so amazing that Catullus wants to share it with a friend. You won't believe what happens next. This story is aimed at Latin students wanting to improve their ability to read Latin fluently. It uses 128 words-including every word in the original poem-not including proper nouns. Story includes three tiered versions of Catullus 13 and a complete vocabulary at the back of the book. Peter Sipes teaches Latin at a middle school in Casper, Wyoming, where he lives with his two children.
