Abstract
Abstract This article examines the reception of Seneca's Troades in the Nemean episode of Statius's Thebaid. After exploring the political implications of Opheltes's death in his role as imperial heir through Astyanax's execution by the Greeks, it focuses on Hypsipyle's grief as surrogate mother in light of Andromache and Hecuba as a means to increase her tragic appeal. By investigating infant death and female bereavement, this paper argues that the Trojan aftermath in Seneca's Troades plays a crucial role in Statius's rewriting of the tragedy of Opheltes and Hypsipyle into his epic poem as a prelude to the Theban War.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
