The Thebaid ( ; Latin: "Thēbaïs") is a Latin epic in 12 books written in dactylic hexameter by Publius Papinius Statius (AD c. 45 – c. 96). The poem deals with the Theban cycle and treats the assault of the seven champions of Argos against the city of Thebes.
Publius Papinius Statius wrote The Thebaid later in his life.
