Purchase options and add-ons

This edition includes a detailed glossary of Greek names, and a map outlining the Argo's voyage

Written in the third century BC in Alexandria, this is the only full surviving account of Jason's legendary quest for the Golden Fleece. It describes the thrilling adventures of the Argonauts on their voyage to Colchis to plead with king Aeetes for the fleece, his greatest treasure - and the Eros-inspired passion felt by his daughter, the beautiful witch-princess Medea, for the scheming Jason. Chronicling a journey that sees Jason and his crew traverse perilous seas, negotiate the treacherous Cyanean Rocks, and confront the lure of the Sirens' song, The Voyage of Argo is a masterful depiction of distinctly human heroism and betrayal caused by love. An eloquent marriage of romance and realism, it tells the definitive version of one of the greatest legends of the classical age- an epic tale of bravery, prophecy and magic.

Product description

About the Author

Apollonius of Rhodes developed the classical traditions of the Homeric epic, expanding them to include a flair for romance and psychological insight which were entirely his own. He published his first version of the Argonautica sometime in the middle of the third century B.C. but was met with derision and prepared a second and probably shorter version. This was so well received by the Rhodians that he was honoured with their franchise and for some years lived on that island. Later he returned to Alexandria to find his work now held in high esteem. At the end of his life he was Director of the famous library of Alexandria.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Jason et les argonautes en anglais
    Reviewed in France on 21 January 2011

    Il existe une version dans la collection 'Belles Lettres' de l'épopée mythologique des argonautes. Le prix étant excessif, je me suis tourné vers ce livre en anglais. Certes, il faut maîtriser la langue de Shakespeare, mais pour celle ou celui que cela ne rebute pas, c'est un plaisir garanti. Et pour un prix assez modique comparé au livre français.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This edition of The Argonautica appeared not long after the second world war, but it is a fine translation, the notes are very helpful and the introduction is a pleasure to read. The map is too fuzzy on the Kindle version, however, which is a pity.
