The Voyage of the Argo: The Argonautica, is an epic poem centering
Jason and his legendary crew as they venture to find the Golden Fleece.
Faced with various hurdles and unbeatable odds, they're committed to
achieving their ultimate goal.
When a young man threatens the throne, King Pelias sends him on a futile
mission to Colchis. Once there, the fearless Jason must confront the
volatile King Aetes and seize his most valued possession--the Golden
Fleece. With help from the Argonauts, Jason navigates multiple
challenges including winged harpies, violent waters and six-armed
brutes. Despite surprising obstacles, the heroes continue and are pushed
to their mental and physical limits.
Much like Homer's Odyssey, i>The Voyage of the Argo: The Argonautica,
is a staple in Greek mythology. It's a classic hero's journey full of
unexpected detours and ambiguous characters. Although a product of the
Hellenistic period, this enduring epic has stood the test of time,
continuing to captivate and inspire.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript,

and readable.
