About this listen

Dive into the unfinished masterpiece of the Roman poet Publius Papinius Statius with The Achilleid. This intriguing work promises to explore the life of the legendary hero Achilles, from his formative years as a pupil of the centaur Chiron to the tragic events of the Trojan War. Although Statius left behind only one and a half books, the surviving passages offer a unique glimpse into Achilles early life, including the captivating episode where his mother, Thetis, disguises him as a girl on the island of Scyros to prevent him from joining the Greek forces.
