Apollonios Rhodios 
The Argonautika 

The Argonautika, the only surviving epic of the Hellenistic era, is a retelling of the tale of
Jason and the Golden Fleece, probably the oldest extant Greek myth. Peter Green’s lively, readable verse translation captures the swift narrative movement of Apollonios’s epic Greek. This expanded paperback edition contains Green’s incisive commentary, introduction, and glossary.


Alternate spelling: Argonautica, Apollonius Rhodius
