Publius Papinius Statius is known for his appearance as a guide in the "Purgatory", a poem written in what century?
Statius Publius Papinius Statius ( ; c. 45c. 96 AD) was a Roman poet of the 1st century AD (Silver Age of Latin literature). His surviving Latin poetry includes an epic in twelve books, the "Thebaid"; a collection of occasional poetry, the "Silvae"; and an unfinished epic, the "Achilleid". He is also known for his appearance as a guide in the "Purgatory" section of Dante's epic poem "The Divine Comedy".
Luceafărul (poem) Luceafărul (originally spelled "Luceafĕrul"; variously rendered as "The Morning Star", "The Evening Star", "The Vesper", "The Daystar", or "Lucifer") is a Romanian narrative poem by Mihai Eminescu, first published in 1883. It is generally considered his masterpiece, one of the greatest accomplishments in Romanian literature, and one of the last milestones in Europe's Romantic poetry. One in a family or "constellation" of poems, it took Eminescu ten years to conceive, its final shape being partly edited by the philosopher Titu Maiorescu. During this creative process, Eminescu distilled Romanian folklore, Romantic themes, and various staples of Indo-European myth, arriving from a versified fairy tale to a mythopoeia, a self-reflection on his condition as a genius, and an illustration of his philosophy of love.
