 | | Add to this that DeForest's book is filled with irrelevant digressions, repetitions, and errors, and it will be clear that the intelligent points that she does have to make about the narrator of the Argonautica, about Medea, about Jason's cloak and Orpheus' song, and about other specific passages are submerged in a welter of misdirection. | | | I ended by being uncertain too about the audience that DeForest wants to address: there is far too much simple (and often over-simple) explanation of background for anyone with any knowledge of Greek literature, but the argument is far too narrow for anyone but an aficionado of Alexandrian poetry. | | | Ultimately, I wondered whether this book too has a narrator at odds with its author and subject. |

| | The Medea of Apollonius is the direct precursor of the Dido of Virgil, and it is the pathos and passion of the fourth book of the "Aeneid" that keep alive many a passage of Apollonius. | | | Callimachus attacks Apollonius in the passage at the end of the "Hymn to Apollo", already mentioned, also probably in some epigrams, but most of all in his "Ibis", of which we have an imitation, or perhaps nearly a translation, in Ovid's poem of the same name. | | | In fact Alexandria was a useful bridge between Athens and Rome. |

| | The diversity of voices observable in the Argonautica, a phenomenon paralleled in Callimachus, contrasts also with Roman poets, who by and large preferred one among many Hellenistic voices (i.e., the subjective voice). | | | Contrary to other scholars who see 4.1781 as a reference to Od. | | | After suggesting that the Aetia was, along this line of reasoning, both and neither "one" and "continuous," Hunter turns to the Argonautica and posits that the same is true of this poem, which, on the one hand, proceeds continuously, while its author and his characters eschew telling stories "continuously" (1.649, 2.391, 3.401). |

| | Apollonius' The Voyage of Argo |
| | Although The Argonautica was written much later, none of this should be seen as any kind of plagiarism or imitation aspiring to the level of Homer; rather an acknowledgement or tip of the hat, so to speak. | | | One might predict that in Homer, an island full of women who had killed all of the men might not have been depicted as behaving so graciously towards a ship of travelers. | | | The Gods are equally prominent in the Argonautica, however they are given more distance from mortals here, and we are given less insight into their motives and characters. |

| | It was said that the manner of his death was due to the gods cursing him for breaking his promise to Medea. | | | Though some of the episodes of Jason's story draw on ancient material, the definitive telling, on which this account relies, is that of Apollonius of Rhodes in his epic poem Argonautica, written in Alexandria in the late 3rd century BC. | | | The mythical geography of the voyage of the Argonauts has been speculatively explicated by the historian of science and the cartography of Antiquity, Livio Catullo Stecchini, in a suggestive essay "The Voyage of the Argo" that draws upon fragments of the mythic sources Apollonius employed in constructing his poem. |

| | Recent scholarship on the nature of the narrator in the Argonautica has convincingly shown that Apollonius creates the illusion that his literary epic is a song improvised in front of a live audience by a divinely inspired bard. | | | We show that projections of this aspect of the fictional performance can be observed in the presentation of the Argonauts as an epinician chorus beginning in the Iolkian episode. | | | Here we argue that there is a significant intertextual relationship between the phrase Dios archômenos, typical in hymnic preludes and the opening phrase of the Argonautica, archômenos seo Phoibe. |

| | Meredith MONAGHAN Domitian and the Argonauts: The Trouble with Tyranny in the Argonautica of Valerius Flaccus |
| | In Valerius' Argonautica, elaborate descriptions of three non-Roman tyrants - Pelias, Amycus, and Aeetes - invite speculation on the extent to which these characters reflect the position and practices of the Roman emperor. | | | Valerius' Argonautica suggests that Rome's future is not pre-determined, but rather depends upon the ability of the Roman emperor to differentiate himself from the behavior of the doomed tyrants depicted therein. | | | Finally, while Senecan portraits of tragic tyrants - and thus also the emperor Nero - undeniably stand behind Valerius' characterizations of Pelias, Amycus, and Aeetes, their relation to Domitian remains an open question. |
