About this product

Product Information

This study focuses on ways in which Statius' epic Thebaid, a poem about the civil war between Oedipus' sons Eteocles and Polynices, reflects the theme of internal discord in its narrative strategies. At the same time that Statius reworks the Homeric and Virgilian epic traditions, he engages with Hellenistic poetic ideals as exemplified by Callimachus and the Roman Callimachean poets, especially Ovid. The result is a tension between the impulse towards the generic expectations of warfare and the desire for delay and postponement of such conflict. Ultimately, Statius adheres to the mythic paradigm of the mutual fratricide, but he continues to employ competing strategies that call attention to the fictive nature of any project of closure and conciliation. In the process, the poem offers a new mode of epic closure that emphasises individual means of resolution.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yodel destroyed my comic, by forcing it through the letterbox. The seller responded right away and send out my refund. In any case, the comic arrived quickly and was packed well- he just used such force AND folded the card board envelope, it didn’t stand a chance! Thank you for the refund and your kindness 👍 will buy from you again
