Descrizione Statius' Thebaid and the Poetics of Civil War
This highly original study argues that Statius' epic Thebaid reflects the theme of internal discord in its narrative strategies. The Homeric and Virgilian epic traditions compete with Hellenistic poetic ideals to produce a tension between the impulse towards the generic expectations of warfare and the deferral of such conflict.
