Abstract

This paper aims to argue that Valerius Flaccus, in writing ll. 179-181 of the first book of the Argonautica, was aware that he was describing a typescene reaching back to Hom. Od. 2.372-376. In this perspective, it seems likely to me that these lines are not only related to the Homeric ones but also rework the same type-scene as described by both his primary models: Apollonius Rhodius (3.736-739) and Virgil (Aen. 9.287-292).
