Argonautica by Valerius Flaccus
Valerius Flaccus flourished ca. AD 7090 and composed an incomplete epic Argonautica in eight books, on the quest for the golden fleece. Valerius effectively rehandles the story already told by Apollonius Rhodius, recalls Virgilian language and thought, and alludes to contemporary Rome.
