The Argonautica is the dramatic story of Jason's quest for the
Golden Fleece and his relations with the dangerous Colchian
princess, Medea. The only extant Greek epic poem to bridge the gap
between Homer and late antiquity, it is a major product of the
brilliant world of the Ptolemaic court at Alexandria, written by
Apollonius of Rhodes in the 3rd century BC. Apollonius explores
many of the fundamental aspects of life in a highly original way:
love, deceit, heroism, human ignorance of the diven, the limits of
science. This volume offers the first scholarly translation into
English prose for many years, combining readability with accuracy
and an attention to detail that will appeal to readers both with
and without Greek. `Based on a deep understanding of the text, this
translation, with informative notes and an excellent introduction,
will bring Apollonius to the audience he deserves....' (TLS) ABOUT
