The Murder of the Innocents in the Saturnalia and the Religion of Macrobius
View through CrossRef
Summary:
Macrobius' allusion to the Murder of the Innocents is considered by Alan Cameron as evidence of his having been a Christian. The murder itself, however, appears in various versions in several sources, and Macrobius thus need not have depended on Matthew who himself could only have adapted material from an originally non-Christian source. The notion of Macrobius' Christianity is not unambiguously supported either by any other indicia produced by Cameron. Charles Hedrick's overall view of the Saturnalia appears preferable to that of Cameron.
