The Argonautics Of Apollonius Rhodius (1876)

Rhodius is a classic Greek epic poem that tells the story of Jason and the Argonauts and their quest to find the Golden Fleece. The poem is divided into four books and is written in Homeric style, with vivid descriptions of battles, adventures, and mythical creatures. The story begins with the call to adventure by King Pelias, who promises to give up his throne if Jason can retrieve the Golden Fleece from the distant land of Colchis. Jason assembles a crew of heroes, including Hercules and Orpheus, and sets sail on the ship Argo. They face many challenges along the way, including battles with giants and harpies, and encounters with the sorceress Medea, who helps them in their quest. The Argonautics Of Apollonius Rhodius is a timeless tale of heroism, adventure, and the power of myth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
