Classical Inquiries. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:hul.eresource:Classical_Inquiries.http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:39666401In this posting for 2015.07.15, I concentrate on Poem 66 of Catullus, which is a remaking or even a “translation” of a poem of Callimachus known as the Lock of Berenice (Coma Berenices, Callimachus fragment 110 ed.
