Book Description:

Valerius Flaccus flourished ca. AD 70-90 and composed an incomplete epic Argonautica in eight books, on the quest for the golden fleece. Valerius effectively rehandles the story already told by Apollonius Rhodius, recalls Virgilian language and thought, and alludes to contemporary Rome.
