La Thebaide de Stace, souvent meconnue, constitue l’un des fleurons de la litterature epique a Rome. Ecrite sous Domitien, divisee en douze livres sur le modele de l’Eneide, elle raconte la guerre celebre des freres ennemis Eteocle et Polynice, fils d’OEdipe, qui s’entretuerent sous les murs de Thebes. Stace y fait alterner des scenes de grande violence et des episodes de tendresse delicate, peint des figures legendaires sous les traits souvent nuances et deja modernes, et nous montre enfin le triomphe de la justice incarnee par Thesee. La Thebaide revele un poete au souffle puissant dont la renommee grandira dans les siecles suivants jusqu’au Moyen-age. Roger Lesueur, Docteur es Lettres, professeur a l’Universite de Toulouse-Le Mirail et auteur d’une these sur l’Eneide, s’est specialise dans l’etude de Virgile et des poetes epiques du 1er siecle.
