• "Statius' portrait of Polynices as a charioteer is a metaphor, bolstered by a series of patronymics, for his ambition to follow in Oedipus' footsteps and assume the Theban throne. The analogy drawn between Polynices and Phaeton highlights the problems in trying to succeed a famous father."
Nagle, R., "Statius' Horatian Lyrics, Silvae 4.5 and 4.7," The Classical World 102.2 (2009): 143-57
• Statius makes use of Horatian forms and motifs, such as the simple house in the country and the literary help of a friend, but his tone is fervent and sincere, rather than dry and ironic. Statius is also fully aware of Horace's generic choices, but makes different choices for his own work with no apparent anxiety. With many literary allusions, the poor and humble poet praises the wealth and public accomplishments of Septimius Severus and Vibius Maximus, and at the same time shows how like-minded they are in their attitudes to literature, friendship, and wealth.

• "Comparison is made to the use of recusatio by Callimachus and the Augustan poets with Flavian poets such as Valerius Flaccus, Statius, and Martial. Recusatio was still widely used in Flavian poetry to highlight the poet's choices in terms of style, theme, and genreĀ ; and his attitude toward the emperor."

Newlands, Carole Elizabeth, "Statius and Ovid: Transforming the Landscape," Transactions and Proceedings of the American Philological Association 134.1 (2004): 133-55
• Three landscapes that illustrate the Thebaid's debt to Ovid are the sacred grove of Diana (4.419-442), the Nemean grove (Books 4-6), and the river landscape of the Ismenos (9.360-373). These landscapes are disconnected from the gods and provide a canvas on which Statius displays the evil of the war. Humans are held accountable for the destruction of the state as much as for the loss of a paradise described in Ovidian terms as a locus amoenus.

Silv. 2.4 and 2.5 rewrite Ovid for the Flavian age, placing a positive value on luxury and withdrawal. Drawing on the traditions of the fable, Statius can be seen as a new authoritative voice that locates social criticism in praise itself.
Newlands, C., "Book-Ends: Statius Silvae 2.1 and 2.7," Ramus 35.1 (2006): 63-77
• "The first and last poems of Silv. 2 (1, on the death of a child of low birth, and 7, on the death of Lucan) have been dismissed as wearisomely rhetorical and have been largely overlooked in scholarship on consolationes as they endorse lamentation, elaborate upon it, and thus run counter to philosophical strictures against overt grief. Issues of class also surely play a role in their dismissal as trivial poems. A proper understanding of the social circumstances in which these poems are embedded, however, will show that they can offer insight into contemporary Flavian society."
Newlands, Carole Elizabeth, "Mothers in Statius's Poetry: Sorrows and Surrogates," Helios 33.2 (2006): 203-26
• Despite the reverence for the idea of the mother in Roman society, there are no ideal mothers in the poetry of Statius. In the Silvae, Statius envisages an alternative family structure in which men usurp women's traditional role of childrearing. Examples include Theb. 3.135-146, 9.360-362. and 12.791-793; Silv. 3.3.119-121, 5.2.75-79, 5.3.64-66 and 241-245, 5.5.81-85; and other passages.

• Summary in Kershner, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2010.08.46
• The prefaces present the work to the patron and the public and show Statius' reflections on literary criticism, in that the poems are not to be taken individually but as a group.

Silv. 3.5 and 4.4 and Pliny (Ep. 6.16 and 6.20) used the epistolary form instead of epic to create a consoling perspective. Both poets largely avoid the themes of portents and the anger of the gods and blur the boundaries between poetry and history, fiction and plain-speaking. In contrast, Martial 4.44 uses the Hellenistic genre of epideictic epigram.

Newlands, Carole Elizabeth, "Martial, Epigrams 9.61 and Statius, Silvae 2.3: Branches from the Same Tree?" Scholia: Studies in Classical Antiquity N.S. 20 (2011) 92-111
• "Martial 9.61 and Statius, Silv. 2.3 provide a test case for the interaction between Martial and Statius. While both poems draw on literary topoi about trees from Horace through Ovid and Lucan, they interact with one another in word and theme. This intersubjective form of literary engagement involves both opposition and complementarity ; read as a diptych, these poems reveal the literary and political potential of the occasional genre" (from LAPH).

• Although the reference to the horse Arion at the center of Silv. 1.1 is brief (52-55), it nevertheless opens up different ways of reading the poem generically and politically. Arion played a significant role in the Thebaid as king Adrastus's horse; in Silv. 1.1, Arion's imagined reaction to Domitian's equestrian statue offers an interpretive crux in the encomium. Through allusion to his own epic, Statius suggests a possible method of reading the first of his Silvae as a critical complement to his epic in contemporary Rome" (from LAPH).

• "Argive innocence is opposed in several ways to Theban guilt in Statius's Thebaid. Construction and deconstruction of these oppositions reveal disjunction between the initial narrative portrayal of a virtuous Argos dragged into war by an unjust Jupiter and the counter story of past Argive sin. Cracks in Ornytus's rhetorical attempt to condemn Creon's behavior at 12.155-157 demonstrate the difficulty of assigning simple moral judgments within the poem's complexities."

Newlands, Carole E., "Sordida rura?: Pastoral Dynamics in the Sphragis to Statius' Silvae," TiC 4 (2012) 111-131
Sordere at Silv. 3.5 is a new turn of the contrast between city and country in bucolic. Statius plays off Virgil, Propertius, and possibly Calpurnius Siculus to make Rome ugly and unsympathetic. Statius uses Ecl. 1.82-83 to bring Naples to the center of the bucolic world.

• Forms of sordere in Silv. 3.5 (3.5.17 and 3.5.112) indicate a new direction in the contrast between city and land found in bucolic. The word implies moral and social concepts that Statius uses to reflect Virgil, Propertius, and perhaps Calpurnius Siculus to show Rome as ugly and unfriendly while Naples is the proper place for a husband and poet. Statius also modernized Virgilian bucolic and brings is back to Naples and puts the villa in the center.
