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.

    Great value. Item is as described, and overall in very good condition. Safely packaged in a sturdy cardboard envelope, so it couldn't be damaged during delivery. Very quick dispatch and delivery. 10/10.

    Item was as described- however, having left instructions for the delivery, to place the package into a bin liner and then into a plastic box, so it would be protected from the rain, the package was left on top of the bin liner and was soaked through. I would suggest that books are placed in a plastic cover, to prevent this
