The Argonautica

About this book

The Argonautica is an epic mythical poem by Apollonius of Rhodes. The myth tells of how Jason and his crew of Argonauts sail to Kolchis at the far end of the world to retrieve the Golden Fleece. They face many dangers and ask the favor of the Greek gods. These gods induce Medea, a daughter of the king of Kolchis, to fall in love with Jason so that she will help him win the Fleece.

This is the first known work to tell this particular story in full. Translated into English verse from ancient Greek by Arthur S. Way, who calls this the one great epic between Homer and Virgil.

Perfect for readers who love epic adventures steeped in classical mythology and timeless tales of heroism!
