Abstract
Discussion on three key features of the style of Statius’ Silvae (with an example from the Achilleid): 1) the massive presence of Greek words, matched by a lexicon marked as ‘typically Latin’; 2) the propensity to play with the reader’s expectations, by means of phrases that might be read in different ways, due to the absence of diacritics in the ancient text; 3) the use of evocative adjectives, which allows Statius to echo his Augustan models. An emendation to Petron. 5, 1, 18 is also suggested.
