Valerius Flaccus, Gaius

    0.02 sec.

Valerius Flaccus, Gaius (died c. AD 92)

Roman poet, author of a heroic poem, Argonautica, which was rediscovered by Poggio Bracciolini in 1416, and first printed in Bologna in 1472. The poem owes something to a similar work by Apollonius of Rhodes which also described the journey of the Argonauts. However, Valerius's work has greater merit than that of many other epic writers of the early empire.
