Two Chronological Contradictions in Catullus 64

Abstract

Catullus relates that Ariadne, who fluentisono prospectans litore Diae Thesea cedentem celeri cum classe tuetur, was depicted on the fabric with which Thetis' pulvinar geniale was covered, and he devotes many lines to the sea voyage of Theseus. At the beginning of the poem, however, while mentioning the Argo in which Peleus was sailing when Thetis first laid eyes on him, the poet also writes this line: illa rudem cursu prima imbuit Amphitriten.
