Summary: "The Argonautika of Apollonios Rhodios is the best known ancient telling of this famous story, from the time Jason, ordered by King Pelias of Iolchos to retrieve the Gold Fleece, sets out with the Argonauts on the Argo, through the voyage to Kolchis, the meeting with Medea, the achievement of trials set by Kolchian King Aietes, and the long voyage back home. This translation captures the Homeric reminiscences that contribute to the poem's significance and pleasure, especially with the music of the dactylic hexameter meter, which the trasnlator also uses in his version of Hmeric epic, the Odyssey and the Iliad (University of Michigan Press, 2002 and 2007)" -- Back cover.
