	Valerius Maximus - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		VALERIUS MAXIMUS, Latin writer, author of a collection of historical anecdotes, flourished in the reign of Tiberius.
		The barrier between the diction of poetry and that of prose is broken down; the uses of words are strained; monstrous metaphors are invented; there are startling contrasts, dark innuendoes and highly coloured epithets; the most unnatural variations are played upon the artificial scale of grammatical and rhetorical figures of speech.
		The collection of Valerius was much used for school purposes, and its popularity in the middle ages is attested by the large number of MSS.

		Flaccus wished to undertake the command in the war against Aristonicus in Asia, but his colleague fined him for deserting the sacra entrusted to his care.
		At the beginning of his consulship, Flaccus had carried a law, by which it was decreed that debts should be cancelled, and only a quadrans be paid to the creditors, and his violent death was regarded as a just punishment for his iniquitous law.

	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.

		This tendency on the part of Valerius' characters to recognize deception, and then to act as if no deception is occurring, is a central theme in the epic, and even though, for once, Jason is not being misled, the fact that he suspects that he is is important.

		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.

		Fimbria watched his opportunity, and when Flaccus had sailed for Chalcedon, Fimbria first took the fasces away from Thermus, whom Flaccus had left as his praetor, as though the army had conferred the command upon himself, and when Flaccus returned soon afterward and was angry with him, Fimbria compelled him to fly.
		Flaccus took refuge in a certain house and in the nighttime climbed over the wall and fled first to Chalcedon and afterward to Nicomedia, and closed the gates of the city.

	Hodges: Phantasmal Journeys: Space and Place in the Argonautica of Valerius Flaccus
		Valerius Flaccus challenges his audience to find comprehensiveness in the world through which the Argo will sail, a world circumscribed by intertextual allusion but that still retains the elemental quality of novelty vis-à-vis both narrative space and place.
		In his Argonautica, Valerius Flaccus is remapping the world, re-presenting it for his heroes and his audience.
		As the poetic helmsman, Valerius Flaccus will set a course through a world marked not only by inter-textual reference, but also by ethno-geographical details that endeavour to account for a fragmented world the Romans would try to bind with their imperial power.

	Guinee: Rewriting Fate in Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica
		Certainly prophecy is part of the stock in trade of epic in general, but in Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica we find an unusually high population of prophets and prophecies.
		Throughout the epic Valerius vacillates between presenting the journey as, on the one hand, part of the grand divine design that leads through the Aeneid to the present greatness of Rome, and, on the other, an event that leads to the end of the Golden Age and brings in its train madness, murder, and horror.
		The prophecies on this journey have been created by the accepted canonical version of the tale, that of Appollonius, and in Valerius' Book V the issue comes to a head, as Valerius begins to enter the territory of Apollonius III, where, I would argue, his audience's expectations would be the strongest.

		For instance, a question that springs to mind is why Valerius chooses not to include Gesander in the catalogue, whose exploits later occupy a great part of the battle description (279-385).
		The switch from simple to embedded narrative, another favorite technique of Valerius, is highlighted by B. in several places in the body of his commentary and could be useful ground for further exploration.

	Meredith MONAGHAN Domitian and the Argonauts: The Trouble with Tyranny in the Argonautica of Valerius Flaccus
		In Valerius' Argonautica, elaborate descriptions of three non-Roman tyrants - Pelias, Amycus, and Aeetes - invite speculation on the extent to which these characters reflect the position and practices of the Roman emperor.
		I suggest that reading Valerius' depictions of tyrants as an uncomplicated critique of Domitian fails to take account of more positive models of power in the poem, most especially Jason, whose reputation as a leader is insistently recuperated from his characterization in Apollonius' poem.
		Valerius' Argonautica suggests that Rome's future is not pre-determined, but rather depends upon the ability of the Roman emperor to differentiate himself from the behavior of the doomed tyrants depicted therein.

	Argonautica
		In his prologue, Valerius invokes Vespasian, and the poem was in part intended to celebrate his achievements in establishing Roman rule in Britain.
		Valerius' work is also incomplete: inconsistencies in the plot suggest that the poem was unrevised, while there are many passages where it is necessary to supply a line to complete the sense.
		Valerius' version of the legend was apparently unknown in the Middle Ages until 1416 when the Florentine humanist, Poggio Bracciolini, discovered a manuscript of the Argonautica (now lost) at St. Gall.

		Valerius Flaccus'Argonautica is no exception, though the text itself has many problems, which probably explains the blooming of new editions in 1997-2003, P. Dräger's work being the latest.
		analyses the Vergilian influence mainly on the structure of Valerius' poem, more briefly on the use of some literary devices like analepsis and prolepsis, and finally on the relation between the poet and the princeps through the choice of the subject and the presentation of the heroes.
		He also notices some meaningful changes: Medea and Jason when they meet are compared by Apollonios and Valerius to trees, but Valerius chooses cypresses because they are connected with death and are an allusion to the tragic end of their relationship.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2006.02.57
		Though Valerius, like many subsequent poets, tends to reproduce Virgilian formulations and modes of expression, his language is innovative in important respects: most obviously in its freedom of word order, its deployment of words and expressions in novel combinations and senses, and its striking use of abridgment.
		There is a good deal of tabulation of diction à la Axelson: K. regularly reports the frequency with which Valerius uses a word or phrase, often listed against its (more or less poetic) synonyms, with the derived ratios set against the practice of other epicists.
		This is miscontrued: Valerius' elegant variation on the usual tripartite universal expression (earth/sky/sea) refers to 'sciences' associated with the three realms.
