Thebais is a Latin epic poem by Publius Papinius Statius, recounting the clash between Polynices and Eteocles, the sons of Oedipus, for the throne of Thebes. Composed in the late first century AD, this epic, presented here in the original Latin, showcases Statius's mastery of the Latin language and his engagement with the epic tradition of Virgil and Homer. Alfred Klotz's edition provides a valuable resource for students and scholars of Latin literature, offering insights into Statius's poetic technique and the cultural context of the Flavian dynasty. Thebais remains a significant work for understanding Roman literary and artistic tastes of the period.
