Overview

This is a scholarly edition of P. Papini Statii's epic poems, ""Thebais"" and ""Achilleis,"" accompanied by scholia. Statius, a prominent Latin poet of the Silver Age, is renowned for his rich and complex verse. ""Thebais"" recounts the tragic conflict between Polynices and Eteocles for the throne of Thebes, drawing upon Greek mythology and history to create a compelling narrative of war, fate, and human suffering. ""Achilleis,"" though unfinished, offers a glimpse into the heroic world of Achilles. This edition, intended for students and scholars, provides valuable insights into Statius's works and their historical and literary context. The scholia offer explanations and interpretations that aid in understanding the nuances of the Latin text.
