Argonàutiques - VOLUMS 1-2 par Gai Valeri Flac
It's very much under the shadow of Virgil and Ovid, with lots of battle scenes and references to the mythology in which it is embedded; after a rather slow start it really kicks off with the introduction of Medea, here a very young woman who none the less is skilled in magic and poison, and her betrayal of her homeland to Jason.
Slavitt's more recent effort is much more readable, though he rather overeggs the pudding sometimes - eg the two words "Unde tubae[?]" become the entire line "Where in the score does it say that a clarion's blast must resound[?]".

I must admit I found the Mozley translation for the Loeb Classicsc almost impenetrable.
