This paper aims to provide a reading of the nocturnal battle between the Argonauts and the Doliones described by Valerius Flaccus in iii 14-272 as an interweaving of models describing nyktomachies. In this regard, although Valerius Flaccus’ scene is strongly indebted to the same episode described by Apollonius Rhodius, it is possible to identify other texts in which a night battle is described that have so far not been sufficiently considered as models.

Abstract
This paper aims to provide a reading of the nocturnal battle between the Argonauts and the Doliones described by Valerius Flaccus in iii 14-272 as an interweaving of models describing nyktomachies. In this regard, although Valerius Flaccus’ scene is strongly indebted to the same episode described by Apollonius Rhodius, it is possible to identify other texts in which a night battle is described that have so far not been sufficiently considered as models.
