Depends upon what you mean by "better"... Is an apple 'better' than a pear? Is South Carolina 'better' than Georgia? I'd say that Virgil is generally held in greater esteem as a Classical poet than Catullus. Virgil's great work, the Æneid, is hard to surpass.

Virgil and Catullus are both considered great poets, but their styles differ. Virgil is known for his epic poetry, such as the "Aeneid," while Catullus is known for his lyric poetry. It ultimately depends on personal preference and what criteria one uses to evaluate the quality of their work.
