		Statius had taken the full measure of Domitian's gross taste, and, presenting him with the rodomontade which he loved, puts conscience and sincerity out of view, lest some uneasy twinge should mar his master's enjoyment.
		Statius prided himself on his powers of improvisation, and he seems to have been quite equal to the feat, which Horace describes, of dictating two hundred lines in an hour while standing on one leg.
		Statius seems to have felt a special pride in this class of his productions; and certainly, notwithstanding the excessive and conventional employment of pretty mythological pictures, with other affectations, he sounds notes of pathos such as only come from the true poet.

	PUBLIUS PAPINIUS STATIUS - LoveToKnow Article on PUBLIUS PAPINIUS STATIUS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		There are hints in this poem which naturally lead to the surmise that Statius was suffering from a loss of the emperors favor; he may have felt that a word from Domitian would have won for him the envied garland, and that the word ought to have been given.
		Statius is at his best in his occasional verses, the Silvae, which have a character of their own, and in their best parts a charm of their own.
		There are oftentimes traits of an almost modern domesticity in these verses, and Statius, the childless, has here and there touched on the charm of childhood in lines for a parallel to which, among the ancients, we must go, strange to say, to his rival Martial.

	Arachnion, n. 3 - Fantham: The ambiguity of Virtus in Lucan's Civil War and Statius' Thebaid
		Statius draws himself up for an invocation to Clio herself: What god was it who applied to the youth the urge and delight in a noble death: stimulos et pulchrae gaudia mortis, adding his own comment that such a state of mind never comes to man without the presence of a god (628-30).
		Statius' use of vocabulary is original: vigor is rare in Virgil, the closest instance being the caelestis vigor of the heroes in Aen.6.730; horror is more common, and its last occurrence is the horror with which the Dira fills Turnus in 12.868.
		Statius has carefully interwoven with the death of Menoeceus the Aristeia of the Argive giant Capaneus, whom we first meet rallying the defeated Argives in the name of Virtus: he calls on his fellows to display their valour in full daylight, relying on the divinity of his right hand and his battle-frenzy (10.483).

		Statius' self-effacement might be a deceptive facade, but the poet is so methodical in pursuing it that it must have served his purposes well.
		Statius was a master of double imitation, as well as a master of exploiting the full semantic range of words which had a meaningful place in the poetic vocabulary of his predecessors, e.g.
		Statius uses the traditional recusatio in a very surprising way: not to justify his refusal to write epic and encomiastic poetry in favor of love poetry, but to justify his refusal to write a panegyric epic on the exploits of the emperor in favor of mythological epic.

		For purposes of understanding the role of Statius in Dante's Commedia, it is important to remember that Dante and the rest of the medieval world were not aware of the Silvae which wasn't "rediscovered" until the early 1400s.
		A brief summary: In Thebaid, Statius describes the battle for the throne of Thebes by the two brothers, Polynices and Eteocles, the sons of Oedipus..
		Statius stated that whereas Homer dealt with the hero's career at Troy up to the death of Hector, he would "sing of the concealment of Achilles in Scyros and his discovery by the Greeks, and also the whole of the Trojan War" (Dilke 7).

		This paper aims at introducing the way in which Statius shapes his literary portraits of women according not only to the genre of the individual poem, but also to the idealized feminine virtues found in other genres and forms (elegy, epicedia, epitaphs).
		Specific examples reveal that Statius’ literary methodology and his construction of the female are directly informed by a higher poetic purpose, namely, the distinction of the male other.
		Statius himself is not immune to constructing a female portrait to suit his own personal needs.

		Readers unfamiliar with Statius' patrons and friends shall be grateful to SB for the concise and useful information he offers in his own 'prefatory notes' that introduce each book.
		However, it could be that what Statius implies in the conclusion of this consolatory poem is that the benevolence of the boy toward his patron survives the boy's own death.
		One of Statius' consolatory strategies hinges on a correspondence of amorous senses that continues post-mortem and is free of any petty jealousy.

	Life of Statius
		Statius is one of the principal epic and lyric poets of the silver age of Latin literature.
		Statius wrote these works during the reign of Domitian, who succeeded to the throne on the death of his older brother Titus, in 81 A.D. The emperor Domitian was reputedly a tyrant, and his last years of rule brought about a reign of terror.
		He had very little to draw from in his depiction of Statius, but as a shrewd reader of Latin epic he must have felt confident that his portrayal of Statius as a Christian would be plausible to medieval readers.

	Inchoat Ismene: Dreaming of Destruction in Statius’ Thebaid
		In book VIII of Statius' Thebaid, Oedipus' daughter Ismene, a character who has thus far had no presence in the epic's narrative, recounts to her sister Antigone a disturbing dream of the disruption of her wedding ceremony.
		Statius' use of this verb has further significance because it foreshadows the interruption of her story (as well as her hopes for marriage) by the intrusion of the war's carnage (the delivery of her fatally injured fiancé) less than twenty lines later.
		Ismene's mental detachment from the events of the war is manifested by the physical seclusion of her setting, as the vast expanse and dangers of the battlefield are immediately contrasted with the inviolability of the women's chambers (interea thalami secreta in parte sorores, line 607).

	Statius' Thebaid review
		Statius' use of language too is much more elaborate and fancified than the language of Vergil (Melville does a good job of catching Statius' stylized language in English).
		Statius' language in this scene captures perfectly the strangeness of the whole event -- he provides plenty of gruesome detail, such as one who dreams a nightmare might focus on; in a nightmare, the dreamer would linger on the bizarre elements -- so too does Statius.
		Statius' sympathies are clearly with Polynices, who should, by the terms of the contract, be king.

	The Villa Pollius Felix on the Capo di Sorrento
		Statius describes his own family as one of solid stock having fallen on hard times.
		Neither the conclusive identification of the ruins at the Capo di Sorrento as those of the villa Pollius Felix as described by Statius nor the poor state of preservation are impediments to placing this set of ruins within the greater context of Roman villas and villa architecture.
		Statius employs this device when he extols the Epicurean virtues of his patron: “pools lie tranquil and undisturbed, calm as the spirit of their lord” and even more explicitly when he asks if he should first “admire the genius of the place or of its master”.

		Coleman herself notes that Statius' style, particularly his economy of expression, may obscure his poetry's meaning and her commentary serves to open up and flesh out the impact of the poems.
		In Poem 1 she discusses the possible sites for the temple from which Janus addresses the emperor Domitian, while in Poem 2 there is a clear description of the relationship of the buildings on the Palatine to the Flavian Palace, where the poem is set.
		Statius also creates a vivid picture of the Bay of Naples region in the Silvae and there is a great deal of geographic information in the commentary.

		The evidence suggests that Statius knew the genre of satire.
		Statius calls one of his Silvae (III 5) “sermo”, seemingly in allusion to the title of Horace’s satires (Sermones).
		For instance, in Silvae II 2, 121–132 Statius offers a philosophical answer to the question “What ethical values are to be preferred?”, exactly the same as in Juvenal’s satire 10.

		Nevertheless, his “baptizing” of Statius would not have struck Dante’s readers as outrageous, inasmuch as Statius was perceived in the Middle Ages as a proto-Christian poet, largely on the basis of allegorical readings of his Thebaid.
		Statius is quite careful to note Chiron's pacifism and unique (for a centaur) aversion to homicide (Achilleid, 1.110-118).
		Nevertheless, Mendelsohn's intepretation of Statius is, in an important sense, consistent with the reading that is here be attributed to Dante: the transportation of Achilles to Skyros represents an attenpt to diminish the influence on him of the paternal/masculine.

		Statius' Achilles constitutes an attempt at recovering the hero's sentimental traits, which his wrathful persona on the battlefield necessarily conceals.

		Statius next launches into a reminiscence of his other books and claims that not one has opened without an invocation to the godhead, numen, of the emperor.
		It is now apparent that it is not Marcellus’ sense of piety but Statius’ which is at stake; the opening dedication raises the issue of the addressee’s piety (You) only to dwell on the writer’s own (I).
		For Pope, all sycophantic dedications are, in essence, the author’s "Dedication to Himself," a dedication that (as in the case of Statius) effectively twists the dedicatory epistle into a unique mode of self-presentation.

		He rehearses the evidence for Statius' popularity in later antiquity and in the Middle Ages, blaming the Enlightenment for introducing a horizon of aesthetic expectations that put the poet at a considerable disadvantage, and notes that these expectations still obtain today.

		Yet while Statius' masterpiece, the epic Thebaid, has been more than once issued in elegant and readable English translations in recent years,[[2]] his Silvae, a collection of thirty two occasional poems, have not attracted the attention of translators willing to tackle the formidable task of rendering the poet's highly precious and artificial style into English.
		This uniformity of style may derive from the speed with which the poems were composed, if we may take Statius' claim in the prose epistle to Silvae 1 literally.
		In the opening line of Statius' remarkably moving lament on the death of his adopted son (Silvae 5.5), the poet remarks that the poem requires an all-new style in keeping with the depth of his grief.
