Song Exchange in Roman Pastoral: 5 (Trends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes)
Contents:
His choice of a more threatening animal better fits epic expectations: Here the threat of over-reaction is posed then dismissed. Jupiter starts to marshal his weapons Theb. However, it also reworks the Vergilian passage behind this Statian scene A. In Thebaid 7, the first engagement with the enemy Theb. They are said to have taken food from hands that offer it Theb. Yet for all the close engagement, Statius adapts the scene in line with epic decorum after the fashion of Valerius Flaccus, who similarly engaged with the episode at Argonautica 3.
Furthermore, it is the care Theb. A nod to the epic nature of the narrative can also be seen in the way that the poem self- consciously works itself up to a grander mode over books 4 to 7. The Nemean games, advertised as a rehearsal for the conflict at Thebaid 6. Many of the events, such as the bellicose chariot race, prefigure the forthcoming conflict in some way51 and traits displayed by the athletes feature again on the battlefield. So, for instance, the competitive runner Idas, who is next oldest to Parthenopaeus in years Theb. Such fierce trickery, highlighted by contrast with the intertext in Calpurnius Siculus52 where a competitor named Idas53 begins a stakeless Ecl.
Moreover, with the stake set at human life, a lack of divine or human controlling umpire, and no practice throws or reruns, the consequences in battle are more serious. For in language which speaks to his treatment of Capaneus at Thebaid The preparatory nature of the events at Nemea is matched by the preparatory nature of some of the intertexts.
As we have seen, the snake episode draws on two texts, the Eclogues and Georgics, which Vergil wrote before moving onto the Aeneid, and one text, the Culex, which Statius constructed as Vergilian juvenilia.

Greek Tragedy in New Translations. The awning attached to the central tower, in combination with the ventilation windows in the various structures, imbues the scene with a sense of pleasant, airy shade, but also with a sense of movement: Pastoral poetry, Greek -- History and criticism. For the Hellenophile sophisticate and the hard-bitten estate manager alike, a tree is never simply a tree.
After the Nemean interlude, there is a noticeable heightening of the epic mode. Grander intertexts befit the change in subject matter to war. Aware that the army are digressing from their campaign, Jupiter summons the war god to get the army back on track Theb. He thereby acts as an epic poet, rescuing the narrative. Notwithstanding the signs of a move to grand epic, there are still signs of generic disruption in the second half which threaten to derail the narrative. The horse is the one he brought from Arcadia, which he rode on when hunting the easy prey of deer Theb.
Moreover, as he is carried off the battlefield with mortal wounds, he laments the fallen animal Theb. Whilst warriors may mourn their steeds, as indicated by Silvae 2. Death in battle removes Parthenopaeus from the narrative. One might, in fact, say that as a puer and not an epic uir, epic theory demands he must be got rid of,63 and that Statius portrays his disappearance in terms that draw attention to this condition, in the same way that he had sidelined amor in Book 1 as not being the epic material of arma.
For the Thebaid advertises its elimination of the childish and playful. By contrast, the Thebaid shows epic adult gravitas succeeding or in the case of the mature Iliadic Apollo who reworks the actions of the youthful, wanton Ovidian Cupid replacing, the ludic and immature. Weightier intertexts follow lighter ones. Games give way to war. And death comes to the baby Linus, the sportive infant Opheltes, and Parthenopaeus playing at battle. At the same time, the youthful, the ludic, the less serious keep recurring.
Sub-epic intertexts keep appearing, offering the possibility of different narrative directions. Statius engages with the theoretical notion of epic whilst in practice exploiting supposedly unepic modes and material.
