Summary
The present thesis is a literary and interpretive commentary on Sidonius Apollinaris Ep 811 The letter is addressed to Lupus a rhetor from Agen After praising Lupus Sidonius turns to Lupusrsquo request for a poem However since Sidonius has just heard of the shocking death of Lampridius who was murdered by the hands of his own slaves he is not in the mood of writing poetry and inserts an old poem instead about his journey to Bordeaux After the poem there follows a long funeral oration as it were on the man Lampridius However as Sidonius makes clear Lampridius made one great mistake he once consulted astrologers on the end of his life which proved to be fatal as Sidonius meticulously points out he was murdered on the exact manner and time that had been predicted to him The goal of this commentary is to come by a close reading of the text to a better understanding and interpretation of the letter The commentary consists of two parts an introduction and the commentary proper which comments on the text The commentary part especially pays attention to themes and structures within the text and attempts to explain linguistical difficulties In the introduction in which the results of the close reading of the commentary are summarized and interpreted several topics are addressed (date addressees intertextuality and models) but it especially deals with the interpretation of the letter It does so in two ways firstly the letter is analysed in the context of book 8 It is showed that qua themes and position the letter fits well in the overall structure of book 8 Secondly the letter is interpreted on its own Its main conclusion is that by this letter Sidonius urgently warns Lupus for the dangerous field of astrology and uses the death of Lampridius as a cautionary example
