Despite a large number of studies, Catullus' so-called Peleus-epic (poem 64) is still said to be enigmatic and hermetic. In a seemingly loose thematic coherence it narrates not only the nuptial of Peleus with the immortal Thetis, but also - across the different media image and song - the fate of Ariadne and the deeds of Achilles ending with a topical lament. The often criticised structure of the whole is here taken seriously as a complex, but highly artistic narrative that excells in its very own structural coherence. In particular consideration of the different narrators and different types of narration, medial aspects (ecphrastic writing, (linguistic) images) and intertextual references, this study tries to offer a new reading of the poem. Trotz einer Vielzahl an Forschungsbeiträgen gilt Catulls sog. Peleus-Epos (c. 64) nach wie vor als rätselhaft und hermetisch. In scheinbar nur losem Zusammenhang erzählt es nicht nur von der Hochzeit des Peleus mit der unsterblichen Thetis, sondern auch - anvertraut den Medien Bild und Lied - von dem Schicksal Ariadnes und den Taten Achills, um in einer zeitkritischen Klage zu enden. Die häufig kritisierte Gesamtstruktur wird hier als komplexes, aber in sich logisches, höchst kunstvolles narratives Gebilde ernst genommen, von dem jede Interpretation ihren Ausgang nehmen muss. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Erzählerfiguren und Erzählhaltungen, medialen Aspekten (ekphrastisches Schreiben, (Sprach-)Bilder) und intertextuellen Referenzen bemüht sich die vorliegende Arbeit um eine grundlegend neue Lektüre des Gedichts.
