= From Wikipedia:Talk:Catullus 2 = "Some also believe that the sparrow is a metaphor for Lesbia's sexual organs." No. A 'passer' is also a colloquial expression, according to Pompeius Sextus, used in mimes when referring to the male genitalia. So, leave Lesbia alone, it's the poet going solo here. The people proposing this theory are: Iohannes Iovianus Pontanus, Angelus Politianus (latin transliterations both). Another theory (don't know whose) makes Passer a name of a person, who's showing too much affection to the Girl (don't forget it'll take a while untill Lesbia gets her name). And yet another theory makes the passer a small jewel the girl eventually loses. Nevertheless, these 2 last theories don't get much credibility. Reynaert-ad 14:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

What is a "blue thrush"? (mentioned as a candidate for the 'passer') Vultur  21:58, 17 July 2006

I think that the various theories on what the passer is should be added to the article. It being a textbook and all.--Bonaeludae 17:35, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
