Capaneus philosophus ? Una nota su Zenone, Filodemo, Stazio (e Lucrezio)
This short article, which starts with a reconsideration of the philosophical characterization of Statius’ Capaneus, aims at investigating the reception of the mythical figure of Capaneus in Hellenistic philosophy. Both among the Stoics (Zeno and, maybe, Chrysippus, according to Diogenes Laertius and Athenaeus) and the Epicureans (Philodemus in P.Herc. 452 olim 463, fr. 13), Capaneus occurs in the philosophical discourse on the definition of the s…
Statius’ Silvae 4.8 and 4.9
This note considers Statius’ Silvae 4.8 and 4.9, focusing on the poet’s angry persona.

But the whole fourth book of …

Then you shall never more walk with the aid of these two props! It is possible that Creon is here alluding to Oedipus’ actual appearance throughout the play. As far as we know, Oedipus comes on stage with no walking stick, and uses Antigone and Ismene as a cr…
