Apollonius' epic, the Argonautica, is not just a masterpiece of
Hellenistic poetry drawing on the entire tradition of previous
Greek literature, but was enormously influential on Latin epic,
especially Virgil's Aeneid. Book IV tells the story of the
Argonauts' return to Greece with the Golden Fleece, their
nightmarish trips through the uncharted rivers of central Europe
and the desert wastes of North Africa, the terrible killing of
Medea's brother, and the anguish of the young girl which
foreshadows her bloody future. This is the first modern commentary
in English. Problems of syntax and language are fully explained,
and there is a sophisticated discussion of the poem as literature.
It will be useful for advanced undergraduates and graduate students
studying Greek poetry, as well as of interest to scholars.
