Abstract
This article explores uncertainty in Claudian’s late Antique Latin epic, the 'De Raptu Proserpinae'. It first focusses upon the areas of artistic provisionality, rhetorical inconsistency, and indeterminacy, and then compares and contrasts Claudian’s political poetry. It suggests that the mythological 'De Raptu' can be read as an acknowledgment of, and detached reflection upon, the uncertainties Claudian would have been familiar with as one involved in politics and as a client poet.
