Reappraises this fourth-century Latin poet's use of story telling and poetics for political propaganda. Argues that Claudian creates a Stilicho who is an epic hero, gigantic barbarians, and a universe under threat of chaos, and thereby retells the story of his patron and convinces his audience of his political agenda.
