Purchase options and add-ons
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jason et les argonautes en anglais
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseIl 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very fine edition of the ancient Greek classic
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis 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.
