Family in Flavian Epic examines the treatment of family bonds in Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica , Statius’ Thebaid and Achilleid , and Silius Italicus’ Punica . The eleven contributions consider the representation of epic parents, children, siblings, and spouses, and their interaction with each other, demonstrating the Flavian poets’ engagement with their epic, and more generally literary, tradition. At the same time, Roman attitudes towards the family and Flavian concerns especially related to dynastic harmony and civil war also characterise both historical and mythological members of Flavian epic families.
