Broken Columns Two Roman Epic Fragments The Achilleid of Publius Papinius Statius and The Rape of Proserpine of Claudius Claudianus Edited and Translated by David R. Slavitt. Afterword by David Konstan With unerring instinct Slavitt has juxtaposed two witty and ironic post-Ovidian tales of coming of age, Statius's unfinished iDeeds of Achillesi and Claudian's iRape of Proserpinai. Those were the mythical days when teenagers were charming and rape consensual for Deidamia or at least for Proserpina the path to queenly power. Epic was never the same after Ovid, whether in Statius's sentimental comedy of love and war or in Claudian's darker divine intrigue sacrificing a mother's love to avert an infernal coup d'etat. Slavitt's versatile idiom makes vivid the personalities of Statius's drama and updates Claudian's self-conscious poetics in versions that are both free and true to the poets' art.--Elaine Fantham, Princeton University Slavitt does a real service by putting into English verse for the first time this century two poems of great grace and charm. . . . Konstan's afterword itself is a gem. . . . I would urge anyone who thinks that Statius only wrote gruesome epic and Claudian only dull panegyric to read this slim and sprightly volume.--iBryn Mawr Classical Reviewi David Slavitt appears to be fluent not only in Latin but also in hexameters. His translation seems to flow effortlessly from his pen. His speech and vocabulary are contemporary and easy to read. . . . This slim volume is further enhanced by the brilliant essay by David Konstan that is appended to it. The essay is reminiscent of the introductions written by R. C. Jebb in his editions of the plays of Sophocles--a combination of a scholarly discussion of the underlying myth in the text interspersed with perceptive literary criticism.--iAmerican Book Reviewi There is more to classical literature than just the classics. Here David Slavitt expands the canon by presenting viv
