Publius Papinius Statius is known for his appearance as a guide in the "Purgatory", a poem written in what century?
Purgatorio Purgatorio (] ; Italian for "Purgatory") is the second part of Dante's "Divine Comedy", following the "Inferno", and preceding the "Paradiso". The poem was written in the early 14th century. It is an allegory telling of the climb of Dante up the Mount of Purgatory, guided by the Roman poet Virgil, except for the last four cantos at which point Beatrice takes over as Dante's guide.
Claudian Claudius Claudianus, usually known in English as Claudian ( ; c. 370 – c. 404 AD), was a Latin poet associated with the court of the emperor Honorius at Mediolanum (Milan), and particularly with the general Stilicho. His work, written almost entirely in hexameters or elegiac couplets, falls into three main categories: poems for Honorius, poems for Stilicho, and mythological epic.
