Abstract


This paper is a literary commentary of Statius’ Siluae I 2, 161-200 (a suasoria to love). The following points are discussed: structure, general and particular sources, stylistic devices and literary fortune. Statius’ primary source of inspiration was Vergil’s Aeneid IV 31-53 (Anna’s suasoria addressed to Dido). But he also elaborated on other cultural sources: a) stoic philosophy; b) rhetorical θέσις of subject εἱ γαμητέον; and c) amatory and elegiac poetry.
