•The poet identifies himself with Orpheus. The poem invokes more Mercury than Somnus, asking not for sleep but death. It is possible that the death of a loved one (likely his wife) was the inspiration.

• The mention of the hypocaust at Silv. 1.5.58 f. seems to mention the fire in the praefurnium and the movement of the heated air. Using a computer model, the authors show that this is possibly an accurate description of how the hypocaust worked. Further studies are needed.

Silv. 3.1, Statius describes the dedication of a temple of Hercules in Sorrento. The new temple is sung in a new way by a poet who, writing a work that is characterized by the mixture of genres, has been identified by recent criticism as an icon of a literary and cultural change carried out during the Flavian era. A reading of 3.1 is offered as the celebration not only of the Temple of Hercules but also of the new imperial poetics.

• Like Virgil, Statius removes Diana's cold cruelty but makes her more sensitive to the brutality around her. This adds to the misanthropic nature of the Thebaid.
Lesueur, R., "Claudia et la composition du livre XII de la Thebaide de Stace," Revue des études latines 81 (2003): 190-99
• The six books of the second half of the Thebaid contain the deaths of the Argive heros. The final book is a change from this, discussing the women and funerals. It is possible that Statius' wife Claudia inspired making the end a eulogy of spouses. This is an interruption of Statius' original plan and is the reason that the final book does not being closure.

• Martial 9.43 and 44 on a statuette of Hercules owned by the patron Novius Vindex (also mentioned in Statius Silv. 4.6) tell us something about Martial's relationship with Statius and about patronage in the age of Domitian. Martial shows how even the lowest genre of poetry can serve as panegyric literature for the sublime emperor Domitian.

• "Theb. 6.268-295 describes an anomalous funeral procession which takes place nine days after the pyre has been burnt. This study explores the parade in the context of Statius' Thebaid. Parades are similar to ecphrasis but enriched and complicated by the play on social and cultural contexts. Allusions to Pindar, N. 10, 1-18; Sophocles, El. 504-515; and Virgil, Aen. 7.789-792, among others, let the parade be read on a number of levels."
Lovatt, Helen, "Statius, Orpheus, and the Post-Augustan Vates," Arethusa 40.2 (2007): 145-63
• "The figure of Orpheus can be put together with the idea of the uates to explore the poetics of the Silvae. Statius struggles to be a serious and political poet. Orpheus is a reflection of both the power and the powerlessness of poetry: the poet and the patron in the world of the Silvae have intermittent power over the natural world, but neither has control over grief. The Orpheus of Statius's poems of lament is a voiceless vates: the effectiveness of poetry in the world is severely limited. Poems considered are 2.2-2.7, 3.1, 5.1, 5.3, and 5.5.

• "A study of the teichoscopies performed by Statius' Antigone (Theb. 7 and 11) and Valerius Flaccus' Medea (Book 6). Statius' version is a radical reworking of teichoscopy, where Antigone takes a female oppositional stance toward epic but also becomes a version of the dangerous lamenting fury who perpetuates battle. Medea's perspective and attitudes differ from that of the narrator and his ideal readers. Her contradictions map onto the contradictions of the female gaze."

• The death of Tydeus (Th. 8.757-762) has an analogue in Livy's account of the aftermath of Cannae (22.51.9). In the Thebaid, the Argives are frequently mapped onto defeated Romans, while in tragic mode the Thebans take on Roman roles. In contrast with Silius Italicus, Statius takes bits and pieces of history and puts them into new contexts.
