About this title

Synopsis

C. Valerii Flacci Setini Balbi Argonauticon Libri VIII, Volume 1 presents the first four books of Valerius Flaccus's epic poem, "Argonautica", in its original Latin. This work, left unfinished at the author's death, recounts the legendary voyage of Jason and the Argonauts in their quest for the Golden Fleece. Valerius Flaccus, a Roman poet of the first century AD, draws heavily on earlier accounts, notably Apollonius Rhodius's "Argonautica", while infusing the narrative with his own distinct style and Roman sensibilities.

This edition offers readers the opportunity to engage with classical Latin literature and explore the enduring themes of heroism, adventure, and divine intervention. The poem provides valuable insights into Roman literary traditions and the reception of Greek mythology in the Roman world. This first volume invites scholars and enthusiasts alike to delve into the rich tapestry of Valerius Flaccus's epic.
