View through CrossRef
Abstract
The article offers a handful of new conjectures for the Latin text of book 7 of Valerius’ Argonautica, as well as reviving a couple of old proposals that have been forgotten in current scholarship. In doing so, it aims to demonstrate that Valerius’ text still remains far more problematic than recent editions and commentaries might let one believe.
