My project, which is supervised by Dr Thomas Biggs and Dr Emma Buckley, aims at finding a new methodology to understand the poetic techniques of Statius and Silius Italicus. Despite blatantly declaring their will to take up Vergil's poetic legacy, Statius and Silius Italicus are unequivocally also epic successors of Lucan. In the broader sense, my project aims to help improve our understanding of the Bellum Ciuile's early reception, and to grasp the personal ways in which Statius and Silius reworked one of their central models.
The distinct contribution of my project is in its methodological approach. I work by pairing passages from the Thebaid and the Punica that share a Lucanian ancestry, exploring this triangle of texts as an intertwined scheme of mutual responses to the poetic challenge of composition.
