King Priam- Priam was the Kin of Troy for ten years and during the Trojan War. It was his fate that he should ruin his country, his family, and himself.
Polyxena- Polyxena was the youngest daughter of Priam and Hecuba. During Hector's burial, Achilles spotted her and immediately fell in love with her. She was ultimately the reason that Achilles died because she was the bait for the trap in which Achilles ended up dying.
Summary: Catullus must like the idea of running, because he has used it quite a lot. In this instance he says that she should run like Achilles should have instead of walking into the trap that was laid before him with Polyxena as the bait. Love was his downfall.
