Moving beyond Virgil-centric readings of Statius' poetry, this book offers an innovative, intermedial, and Ovidian reading of the Thebaid, suggesting that the poem reworks both Virgil and Ovid's politically loaded myths and spatial narratives to scrutinise the new realities of Flavian Rome through the mythical story of Thebes.
