The first new Penguin Classics translation of the Argonautica since the 1950s
Now in a riveting new verse translation,ย Jason and the Argonautsย (also known as the Argonautica) is the only surviving full account of Jasonโs voyage on the Argo in quest of the Golden Fleece aided by the sorceress princess Medea. Written in the third century B.C., this epic story of one of the most beloved heroes of Greek mythology, with its combination of the fantastical and the real, its engagement with traditions of science, astronomy and medicine, winged heroes, and a magical vessel that speaks, is truly without parallel in classical or contemporary Greek literature and is now available in an accessible and engaging translation.
