	Gaius Valerius Flaccus - LoveToKnow 1911
		His work, the Argonautica, dedicated to Vespasian on his setting out for Britain, was written during the siege, or shortly after the capture, of Jerusalem by Titus (70).
		The object of the work has been described as the glorification of Vespasian's achievements in securing Roman rule in Britain and opening up the ocean to navigation (as the Euxine was opened up by the Argo).
		Various estimates have been formed of the genius of Flaccus, and some critics have ranked him above his original, to whom he certainly is superior in liveliness of description and delineation of character.

	Marcus Hordeonius Flaccus
		Flaccus happened to be at Mainz, where the remains of the legions IIII Macedonica and XXII Primigenia were garrisoned, at the moment when the eight units arrived from the south.
		When Hordeonius Flaccus administered the oath of allegiance, the rank-and-file accepted it under pressure from the officers, though with little conviction in their looks or hearts, and while firmly reciting the other formulae of the solemn declaration, hesitated at the name 'Vespasian' or mumbled it, and indeed for the most passed it over in silence.
		(Flaccus remained at Neuss.) However, when Vocula's legions were preparing the invasion of the Island of the Batavians, bad news arrived from the south: the Usipetes and Chattians, Germanic tribes from the east bank of the Rhine, had crossed the river, were plundering the country and tried to besiege Mainz.

		(16) When, therefore, Flaccus learnt that he too was put to death, he utterly abandoned all other hope for the future, and was no longer able to apply himself to public affairs as he had done before, being enervated and wholly broken down in spirit.
		So Flaccus was led away by the soldiers at the command of Bassus, this being the manner in which he returned from the banquet, for it was fitting that justice should begin to visit him at a feast, because he had deprived the houses of innumerable innocent men of all festivity.
		And when the corpse was dragged into the trench which had been dug, the greater part of the limbs separated from the body, the sinews by which the whole of the body is kept together being all cut through.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.3.41
		The commentaries on single books of Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica that began to appear in 1989 are the first of any substance since P. Langen's commentary on the whole poem which was published in 1896/97; the new commentators have much to do.
		In an introduction which is in some parts detailed, in others summary, W treats aspects of the poem as a whole (the poet's chronology, the manuscript tradition, the relation of the poem to recent events, style, influence) and of Book 5 in particular (coherence, structure, similes, sources and models).
		Two of his larger structures of approximately seventy lines, 224b-296 and 259-328 (the brackets are misplaced, p.5) are broken by the discrete character of 224b-277 (in his division; better perhaps 222-277).

	Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore - Works - Criticism - Flaccus -- Thomas Ward (B)
		We notice his book at all, only because it is an unusually large one of its kind, because it is here lying upon our table, and because, whether justly or unjustly, whether for good reason or for none, it has attracted some portion of the attention of the public.
		The volume is entitled, somewhat affectedly, "Passaic, a Group of Poems touching that river: with Other Musings, by Flaccus," and embodies, we believe, all the previously published effusions of its author.
		Flaccus intended the whole matter, in the first instance, as a solemnly serious thing; and that, having composed it in a grave vein, he became apprehensive of its exciting derision, and so interwove sundry touches of the burlesque, behind whose equivocal aspect, he might shelter himself at need.

	Re: orion-list Philo
		This can only be Flaccus, who permitted the Alexandrians, "whom savagery had maddened and transformed into the nature of wild beasts" (Flaccus, 66) to slaughter the Jews by a wide variety of means which Philo details culminating in crucifixion (Flaccus, 65-72).
		For it was the will of justice that the butcheries which she wrought on his single body should be as numerous as the number of Jews whom he unlawfully put to death...
		In Flaccus Philo refers to the Jews of Alexandria being driven from the city to the very "beach property" where the Therapeutae are later said to reside.
