Statius

Publius Papinius Statius (c. 45 – 96 A.D.) was a Roman poet born in Naples, Italy.[1] Published in 92 A.D., his major epic was called Thebaid.[2] It has the same theme as the Seven Against Thebes, a play by Aeschylus, the fight of seven city states against Thebes. He also wrote poems for different occasions. These poems are known as Silvae today.[3] They show what the life at the court of Domitian was like. Even though he is not well-known today, he was better known during his time. He also appears in The Divine Comedy.[4]
