The book contains a commentary on Book V of the Argonautica of Valerius Flaccus, paying attention to linguistic, philological and literary aspects. Line by line the words and phrases chosen, sources used and literary models are treated.
The last commentary on all eight books of the Argonautica appeared a century ago (Langen 1896), so there is ample room to apply new views in Latin linguistics and concepts of literature. A small number of textual variants is supported.

Valerius Flaccus
Seamus Heaney's new translation of Book VI of Virgil's Aeneid, composed sometime between 29 and 19 BC, retells the story of Aeneas' descent into the underworld (Dis), down to "Death's deepest regions," in search of his dear father's spirit. Although I'm not qualified to comment on the quality of Heaney's translation of the epic poem from Latin into English compared to earlier translations by Fagles, Fitzgerald, Dryden, and Ahl, et al., other than to say I'm sure it was no easy feat, his finished rendition is something quite enjoyable to read. Should you read it? Of course. It is not only a classic, pre-dating both the Christian concept of Hell and Dante's Inferno, but Aeneas' archetypal descent into the underworld is a journey you'll not soon forget.
