Description

This scholarly work offers the first comprehensive book-length examination of how Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica influenced the epic poetry of the imperial period, particularly in the works of Silius Italicus, Statius, and Claudian. Through detailed textual analysis, the study reveals the intertextual connections that shaped major Latin epics including the Punica, Thebaid, Achilleid, and De Raptu Proserpinae. The research provides fresh evidence supporting the theory that Valerius' Argonautica predates both the Punica and Thebaid, thereby clarifying the literary chronology and development of Flavian period poetry (69-96 CE). By tracing these literary influences across multiple poets, the book enhances understanding of how imperial Latin writers engaged with their predecessors and contributed to the evolution of the epic genre during Rome's imperial age.
