This paper aims to argue that Valerius Flaccus, in writing ll. 179-181 of the first book of the Argonautica, was aware that he was describing a typescene reaching back to Hom. Od. 2.372-376. In this perspective, it seems likely to me that these lines are not only related to the Homeric ones but also rework the same type-scene as described by both his primary models: Apollonius Rhodius (3.736-739) and Virgil (Aen. 9.287-292).
I versi 179-181 del primo libro delle Argonautiche di Valerio Flacco descrivono un topos già presente in Hom. Od. 2.372-376: un personaggio dichiara che prenderà parte a un’impresa pericolosa all’insaputa dei propri genitori. Dopo Omero tale topos è stato riproposto in Ap. Rh. 3.736-739 e in Verg. Aen. 9.287-292, loci che, a mio parere, sono tra loro connessi e che ritengo essere stati tenuti entrambi in conto da Valerio Flacco nella scena delle Argonautiche sopra citata.

Abstract
This paper aims to argue that Valerius Flaccus, in writing ll. 179-181 of the first book of the Argonautica, was aware that he was describing a typescene reaching back to Hom. Od. 2.372-376. In this perspective, it seems likely to me that these lines are not only related to the Homeric ones but also rework the same type-scene as described by both his primary models: Apollonius Rhodius (3.736-739) and Virgil (Aen. 9.287-292).
