In this course, students will explore Flavian Epic through Statius’ captivating and playful Achilleid. Class time will be mostly devoted to translation and discussion of Statius’ language, syntax, and poetics, but we will also: examine the epic’s narratives elsewhere in the literature and art of antiquity; explore certain thematic elements; consider theoretical approaches to interpretation; position the epic within Flavian Rome; and review modern interactions with the poem. Completion of the course will leave students with a strong understanding of the epic genre, an appreciation for Statius’ cultural significance, a diverse and refined skillset for research, writing, and literary analysis, and significant experience in the translation of Flavian verse.
