A new reading of Statius' Thebaid, based on a groundbreaking reconstruction of cultural and political life under Domitian. This book studies the Thebaid's view of imperial power and its interaction with Roman history. It provides a new vision of the poem's political stance and of its relationship with its literary predecessors.
