Publisher's Synopsis

From AD 395 to 404, Claudian was the court poet of the Western Roman Empire, ruled by Honorius. The poem "In Eutropium" is his response to the eunuch Eutropius becoming consul. In this study, the author argues that the poem was political propaganda, exploiting prejudices against eunuchs.
