书籍简介

斯塔提乌斯在世纪的后十年发表了他的《底比斯》。这部叙述俄狄浦斯的两个儿子争夺底比斯王位的史诗是他的代表作，对内战的激情进行了激动人心的探索。他未完成的《阿基里德》的现存部分在语气上明显不同：这第二部史诗以对阿基里斯的生活的迷人描述开始。

斯塔提斯在那不勒斯湾的希腊文化环境中长大，他的希腊文学教育反映在他的诗歌中。罗马的政治现实在Thebaid中也很明显，表现为专制权力和统治的动力。这部两卷本的史诗，以全新编辑的拉丁文本面对优雅的翻译，完成了D.

Coleman撰写了一篇关于这两部史诗的学术研究的文章。

Statius published his Thebaid in the last decade of the first century. This epic recounting the struggle between the two sons of Oedipus for the kingship of Thebes is his masterpiece, a stirring exploration of the passions of civil war. The extant portion of his unfinished Achilleid is strikingly different in tone: this second epic begins as a charming account of Achilles' life.

Statius was raised in the Greek cultural milieu of the Bay of Naples, and his Greek literary education is reflected in his poetry. The political realities of Rome in the first century are also evident in the Thebaid, in representations of authoritarian power and the drive for domination. This two-volume edition of the epics, a freshly edited Latin text facing a graceful translation, completes D.

R. Shackleton Bailey's new Loeb Classical Library edition of Statius. Kathleen M.

Coleman contributed an essay on recent scholarship on the two epics.
