In this volume, Augoustakis presents the first full-length edition of Statius' Thebaid 8, with text and apparatus criticus, an English translation, and a detailed introduction, discussing the Argive/Theban myth in the Greek and Roman literary tradition and art, as well as the reception of the book in subsequent centuries, especially in Dante's Divine Comedy. The accompanying commentary provides useful notes which explore questions of interpretation and Statius' language and literary craft, with particular emphasis on the exploitation of various Greek and Latin intertexts in Statius' poetry.
