Abstract:Moving beyond traditionally Virgil-centric readings of the Thebaid, I argue that Statius programmatically acknowledges the role that the Metamorphoses plays in his poem, by opening the Thebaid with an Argive narrative (Theb. 1.312–2.743) entirely modelled on the Ovidian Perseid (Met. 4.610–5.249). By exploring how a "conflictive" Virgilian-Ovidian intertextuality informs the Thebaid's Argos narrative, I show how Statius develops Ovid's intertextual technique both to competitively renegotiate his relationship with his Augustan models and to respond to the new socio-political issues of Flavian Rome, chiefly the dangers of the Flavians' family-based reorganisation of the imperial institution under the guise of a return to an idealised Augustan past.

Statius 的 Thebaid 中的 Argos 叙事：一个新的 Ovidian Perseid？

摘要：超越传统上以维吉尔为中心的 Thebaid 阅读，我认为 Statius 通过以完全模仿 Ovidian Perseid 的 Argive 叙事（Theb. 1.312–2.743）打开 Thebaid，以编程方式承认了变形记在他的诗中所扮演的角色（符合 4.610–5.249）。通过探索“冲突的”维尔吉尔-奥维德互文如何影响 Thebaid 的 Argos 叙事，我展示了 Statius 如何发展奥维德的互文技术，以竞争性地重新谈判他与奥古斯都模型的关系，并回应弗拉维安罗马的新社会政治问题，主要是弗拉维安家族以回归理想化的奥古斯都过去为幌子对帝国机构进行的以家族为基础的重组的危险。
