Tradizionalmente la poesia epica d’età flavia è stata studiata in rapporto all’Eneide virgiliana; questo volume, invece, si sofferma sulla ricezione in Argonautiche, Tebaide e Punica di quattro grandi episodi dell’Iliade legati alla dimensione dell’eroismo. Omero non è soltanto archetipo della virtus, talora arcaica e primitiva, messa in campo dai protagonisti dei poemi esaminati, ma è usato persino come modello delle perversioni e della negazione della virtus stessa. Il volume, che evidenzia affinità e differenze tra Valerio Flacco, Stazio e Silio Italico in rapporto alla tecnica poetica e all’uso dei modelli, spazia lungo l’arco della poesia epica fino al I sec. d.C. e affronta anche questioni di cronologia relativa, piuttosto spinose specialmente per quanto riguarda Tebaide e Punica.

Written in the aftermath of Nero's downfall, the Year of the Four Emperors and the rise of Vespasian, Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica departs significantly from earlier treatments of the Argonautic myth. This monograph explores how the epic's fusion of foreign conquest with civil war, its depiction of rulers and tyrants, and its disconcerting portrayal of the gods may have resonated with its contemporary audience. The proposed readings suggest that the poem reflects approval of Vespasian's rule, yet ambiguously leaves open the question of whether the future of Flavian Rome will hold everlasting peace or another civil war
