The most recent (though not very recent) post on Gabriel Laguna’s Tradición Clásica<\/a> is on Statius, Silvae<\/em> 5.4, the ‘Ode to Sleep’. One of first things I put on the web here was ‘Sonnets to Morpheus’, with texts of Statius’ poem and three elaborate Renaissance imitations, by Jacob Balde and Janus Pannonius in Latin and Francisco de Quevedo y Villegas in Castilian Spanish. (None of them are sonnets: I just like puns.) It’s interesting that all three chose the shortest and (by common consent) best of Statius’ Silvae<\/em> and then expanded it to lengths more typical of the rest of the Silvae<\/em>.<\/p>\n
