Aprašymas
This book offers an intertextual study of the Argonauts' departure from Pagasae in Book 1 (ll. 481-850) of Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica. The episode is examined from structural and verbal perspectives to show how the poet's literary models interact in shaping the text. The three main scenes - the council of the gods, the storm and the death of Jason's parents - are analyzed in their broader development and through a line-by-line intertextual commentary, with attention to Valerius Flaccus' imitative techniques. The final chapter (Venturing beyond) presents a metapoetic reading that explores the reworking of the Flavian poet's principal models.
