P. Papinius Statius Volume V
Publius Papinius Statius was born in Naples (Neapolis) around the middle of the first century AD, the son of a distinguished professional poet. Statius’ own oeuvre was considerable: an epic in twelve books on the theme of the Seven against Thebes; an unfinished epic on the story of Achilles of which one book and a portion of a second survive; and five books of Siluae comprising thirty-two occasional poems written for rich patrons.

Valeri Flac narra aquesta història plena d’elements de rondalla amb un estil preciosista, amb moments d’ironia i de dramatisme. L’obra va exercir una influència notable sobre els poetes llatins posteriors, i durant molts segles va constituir el relat canònic del mite dels argonautes
