Hi all,
I have an obscure question. I am trying to translate a title ('The Dream of the Sopio') into Latin. Strictly speaking, 'sopio' is already Latin, but not being versed in Latin I don't know how to translate the full title. The title itself is based on 'The Dream of Scipio' (Somnium Scipionis), so I imagined that 'Somnium Sopionis' might be right. Is this so? I would also be interested in knowing whether this implies that it is a dream attributed to a 'sopio' (i.e. a dream had by a sleeping 'sopio'), or is rather/could also be a dream about a 'sopio'.
Many thanks! 8)
