		GAIUS VALERIUS FLACCUS, Roman poet, flourished under Vespasian and Titus.
		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).
		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.

		He was sent to Asia in 86 B.C. as legate to L. Valerius Flaccus, but quarrelled with him and was dismissed.
		Taking advantage of the absence of Flaccus at Chalcedon and the discontent aroused by his avarice and severity, Fimbria stirred up a revolt and slew Flaccus at Nicomedia.
		He then assumed the command of the army and obtained several successes against Mithradates, whom he shut up in Pitane on the coast of Aeolis, and would undoubtedly have captured him had Lucullus co-operated with the fleet.

	Rhetorical Figures
		Valerius Flaccus is one of the most elusive literary figures of the imperial Roman period: virtually nothing certain is known about him.
		The argument for a starting date of 80 or 81 is based largely on the evidence of the proem (1.1-21), which for various reasons appears to have been written early in the period of composition.
		In the proem, Valerius addresses Vespasian and mentions both his sons; the close textual proximity and coordinated purposes of the three figures is meant to stress familial solidarity, an important point of Flavian propaganda in the wake of the civil wars of 68-9.

		Valerius Flaccus, The Voyage of the Argo: The Argonautica of Gaius Valerius Flaccus, tr.
		Valerius, in his recusatio to the Emperor Vespasian (I, 7-20), notes that Vespasian and Titus’ military achievements are worthy of an epic, but that the young Domitian (soon to be emperor) has that epic well in hand.
		Valerius’ portrayal of Medea emphasizes her youth (she seems modeled on Italian girls Valerius himself might have known), and we sense the betrayal of Medea, by the gods, by the Argonauts, and by Jason, as most callous and cruel.

		He has been identified on insufficient grounds with a poet friend of Martial (1.61.76), a native of Padua, and in needy circumstances; but as he was a member of the College of Fifteen, who had charge of the Sibylline books (1.5), he must have been well off.

		At this point the poem ends (due to Flaccus death?) and the poem is completed by Slavitt using the knowledge from other authors in order that the reader isn't left hanging on.
		Slavitt's blank verse has rendered Flaccus extremely readable and the translator has retained much of the general sense of the original without reverting to the modern vernacular.
		What he has certainly achieved is to make this lesser known Latin poet far more accessible to the modern reader and has achieved it in a manner that gives new life to the myth of the voyage of the Argo.
