ItalyA first-century Latin poet whose unfinished epic about Achilles and twelve-book saga of Thebes survived imperial Rome — then found a second life centuries later when Dante cast him as a guide through Purgatory.
About
Publius Papinius Statius wrote in the first century CE, producing the Thebaid, a twelve-book epic, and the Silvae, a collection of occasional verse. He began but never completed the Achilleid, an epic centered on Achilles. His work carried through the centuries in manuscript until Dante Alighieri, writing his Divine Comedy in the early 1300s, placed Statius in Purgatory as a guide — a literary resurrection that secured the Roman poet a place in the medieval imagination and beyond.
