Apollonios Rhodios (c. 305-235 B. C.), the author of the Argonautika, was appointed Chief Librarian in the legendary library at Alexandria around 265 B. C. His first draft of this poem, composed when he was a very young man, drew scornful reactions from the literati of the day, Kallimachos in particular, who thought epic pass and long poems vulgar. The Argonautika: the story of Jason and the quest for the golden fleece is a retelling of the tale of Jason and the Golden Fleece ... Jason, a young prince, is sent on a perilous expedition but comes through various ordeals with the aid of the king's daughter, Medeia, He is a very modern figure, not at all Achillean: almost an anti-hero. Along the way, the story incorporates ... accounts of early exploration and colonizing ventures. | The Argonautica by Apollonius Rhodius, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
