Lucan, Statius, and Juvenal in the Early Centuries
View through CrossRef
The histories of literature tell us that these three poets were out of favour with scholars during the second and third centuries and the first half of the fourth. Lucan and Statius certainly had a vogue in the first: Suetonius studied Lucan at school (Vita Lucani ‘Poemata eius etiam praelegi memini’), and Statius (Theb. XII. 814–5) can say to his book:‘Iam te magnanimus dignatur noscere CaesarItala iam studio discit memoratque iuuentus.’
