Description
This is the first dedicated commentary on the eighth and final book of Valerius Flaccus' Flavian epic Argonautica.
It includes the Latin text, a new English translation, and detailed discussion of a range of literary, linguistic, and textual issues.
It is the final work of the promising scholar Cristiano Castelletti, edited by friends and colleagues.
The edition benefits from his wide-ranging knowledge of ancient poetry and provides perceptive insights into the texture of this important book.
It will make the final section of the poem more easily accessible to an international readership and addresses questions of the original length of the poem, of intertextuality, and of poetic practices in late first-century CE Rome.
