Description
Few classical stories are as exciting as that of Jason and the Golden Fleece. The legend of the boy, who discovers a new identity as son of a usurped king and leads a crew of demi-gods and famous heroes, has resonated through the ages. The myth and its reception inspires endless engagements.
From Pindar to J. W. Waterhouse, Apollonius of Rhodes to Ray Harryhausen, and Robert Graves to Mary Zimmerman, the Argonaut myth has produced later interpretations as rich and complex as the ancient versions. Helen Lovatt here unravels the diverse versions of the narrative and its numerous afterlives. Her book will prove both informative and endlessly entertaining to those who love classical literature and myth.
