Abstract
Desde hace ya unos años, la figura de Estacio está
siendo objeto de una constante rehabilitación. Ello,
sin embargo, no ha tenido como contrapartida una
mejor comprensión del aparato divino de la Tebaida
ni, concretamente, de las incoherencias (o indecisiones)
en que Júpiter incurre a la hora de definir
su relación con el fatum. Obviando el hecho de que
el estatuto ontológico y teológico de Zeus-Júpiter
es altamente inestable desde el momento fundacional
del género épico, hay una tendencia clara
a seguir apelando hoy día a la similitud que este
padre de los dioses guarda con la Providencia estoica
que, casi aporéticamente, semper paret, semel
iussit (Sen., Dial. I 5.8.9). En el presente estudio,
plantearemos como alternativa a esta perspectiva
el estudio de ciertos pasajes de Ovidio y del Séneca
pensador político, no teólogo. Veremos cómo
el Júpiter estaciano guarda inopinadas similitudes
con el ovidiano rector Olympi y con el senecano
ciuitatis rector.
Statius is receiving a much more positive approaches nowadays than years ago. They are really contributing to his recent rehabilitation. However, this new situation has not meant in practice a better understanding of the Thebaid’s divine machine. More concretely, Jupiter’s hesitations about his relationship with fatum are still considered narrative incoherences. Obviously enough, the ontological and theological status of Zeus-Jupiter was profoundly unstable throughout the whole of Greek and Roman literary tradition. Even so, classical scholarship still try to explain the Statian Jupiter in the light of the Stoic Providence that, almost aporeticly, semper paret, semel iussit (Sen., Dial. I 5.8.9). In this paper I shall bring up some Ovidian and Senecan passages, but I shall not appeal to the theologian Seneca, but to the political thinker. I hope to show that Thebaid’ Jupiter bears strong resemblances to Ovidian rector Olympi and to Senecan ciuitatis rector.
