Shackleton BaileyCambridge, MA :Harvard University Press,2014.1 online resourceLoeb Classical Library ; 206Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: MonographGreek literary education and Roman political reality are evident in the poetry of Statius (c. 50-96 CE). His Silvae are thirty-two occasional poems. His masterpiece, the epic Thebaid, recounts the struggle for kingship between the two sons of Oedipus. The extant portion of his Achilleid begins an account of Achilles' life and renews epic.Statius' Silvae, thirty-two occasional poems, were written probably between 89 and 96 CE Here the poet congratulates friends, consoles mourners, offers thanks, admires a monument or artistic object, describes a memorable scene. The verse is light in touch, with a distinct picture quality. Statius gives us in these impromptu poems clear images of Domitian's Rome. Statius was raised in the Greek cultural milieu of the Bay of Naples, and his Greek literary education lends a sophisticated veneer to his ornamental verse. The role of the emperor and the imperial circle in determining taste is another readily apparent influence: the figure of the emperor Domitian permeates these poems. D. R. Shackleton Bailey's new edition of the Silvae, a freshly edited Latin text facing a graceful translation, replaces the earlier Loeb Classical Library edition with translation by J. H. Mozley. Kathleen M. Coleman contributed an essay on recent scholarship on the Silvae.Epic poetry, LatinTranslations into EnglishOccasional verse, LatinTranslations into EnglishEpic poetry, Latin(OCoLC)913954fastOccasional verse, Latin(OCoLC)1043062fastRomeHistoryDomitian, 81-96PoetryRome (Empire)fastEpic poetry, LatinOccasional verse, LatinEpic poetry, LatinOccasional verse, Latin871/.01Statius P.
