In this innovative study of Apollonius Rhodius' influential epic
poem from the Hellenistic period, the author aims both to offer
fresh insights into popular critical issues and consider it from
new perspectives. The principal, unifying concern is the poet's
measured and complex use of language and the manipulation of
meaning generated therewith. The first part presents a detailed
analysis of the poem's constantly shifting commentary on the voyage
of the Argo as articulated throughout all four books of the poem,
and the conflicting strategies according to which the epic journey
of the Argonauts is presented for interpretation. The second part
of the book identifies hitherto unexplored descriptive, thematic
and image-related rhythms within the narrative, which serve both to
bind the poem together and to generate further complexities of
meaning. Accessible to non-specialists, with all Greek quotations
accompanied by an English translation.
