Description: [L'Annèe philologique] [Comment] Catullus 79 has nothing to do with rumors of incest or even with oral sex per se ; instead, it attacks P. Clodius Pulcher by punning on his cognomen to suggest that all who know him regard him as an « exoletus » and therefore shun him, while it also implicitly criticizes Lesbia for preferring this « exoletus » over Catullus. Cicero's lost speech against Clodius denouncing his infiltration of the rites of the Bona Dea also probably had as its main theme an attack on Clodius as an « exoletus ».
