Abstract

Publius Papinius Statius was born in Naples (Neapolis) around the middle of the first century AD, the son of a distinguished professional poet. Statius' own oeuvre was considerable: an epic in twelve books on the theme of the Seven against Thebes; an unfinished epic on the story of Achilles of which one book and a portion of a second survive; and five books of Siluae comprising thirty-two occasional poems written for rich patrons. This volume presents a text of the 'Siluae' with a facing translation, preceded by a chronologically arranged introduction to the transmission of the text, and a bibliography of editions and relevant secondary literature
