Jason
About this book
A GREAT STORY OF PRODIGIOUS DEEDS TOLD WITH THE FIRE AND IMAGINATION OF AN INCOMPARABLE WRITERThe legendary search of Jasonāthe ancient Greek mythological hero and leader of the Argonautsāis brought to life in this novel of a pagan age. Henry Treece journeys with one of the world's great adventurers as he escapes the orgiastic sacrifices of the mother-goddess, falls in love with the beautiful queen of an isle of women, marries the snake-witch Medea, conquers a kingdom, and wins the unattainableāthe fabled Golden Fleece. It is an informed novel, beautifully written. It's loaded with adventure, violence, hairbreadth escapes, and bloody conquests. It recreates with conviction a world of paganism in which every man was fearfully religious and in which horrors were perpetrated constantly in the name of the great mother-goddess.
