THE ARGONAUTICA

Classics-Unbound, 2008

The Argonautica (Greek: ???????????) is a Greek epic poem written by Apollonius Rhodius in the 3rd century BCE. The only surviving Hellenistic epic, the Argonautica tells the myth of the voyage of Jason and the Argonauts to retrieve the Golden Fleece from the mythical land of Colchis.

The Student Perspective
As a classical studies major, I have a great appreciation for classical epics. Familiar with Greek and Latin, and having read several translations of Vergil and Homer, I was rather disappointed with this edition.
