Along with his contemporaries Callimachus and Theocritus, Apollonius refashioned Greek poetry to meet the interests and aesthetics of a Hellenistic audience, especially that of Alexandria in the Ptolemaic period following Alexander's death. In this carefully crafted work of 5,835 hexameter verses in four books, the author draws on the preceding literary traditions of epic (Homer), lyric (Pindar), and tragedy (especially Euripides) but creates an innovative and complex narrative that includes geography, religion, ethnography, mythology, adventure, exploration, human psychology, and, most of all, the coming of age and love affair of Jason and Medea. It greatly influenced Roman authors such as Catullus, Virgil, and Ovid, and was imitated by Valerius Flaccus. This new edition of the first volume in the Loeb Classical Library offers a fresh translation and improved text. 606 $aArgonauts (Greek mythology)$vPoetry 606 $aEpic poetry, Greek$vTranslations into English 606 $aJason (Greek mythology)$vPoetry 606 $aMedea (Greek mythology)$vPoetry 606 $aArgonauts (Greek mythology) in literature$3(OCoLC)814330$2fast 606 $aArgonauts (Greek mythology)$3(OCoLC)814328$2fast 606 $aEpic poetry, Greek$3(OCoLC)913902$2fast 606 $aGreek poetry$3(OCoLC)947503$2fast 606 $aJason (Greek mythology) in literature$3(OCoLC)982025$2fast 606 $aJason (Greek mythology)$3(OCoLC)982024$2fast 606 $aMedea (Greek mythology)$3(OCoLC)1013568$2fast 608 $aEpic poetry, Greek$vTranslations into English. 615 0$aArgonauts (Greek mythology) 615 0$aEpic poetry, Greek 615 0$aJason (Greek mythology) 615 0$aMedea (Greek mythology) 615 7$aArgonauts (Greek mythology) in literature 615 7$aArgonauts (Greek mythology) 615 7$aEpic poetry, Greek 615 7$aGreek poetry 615 7$aJason (Greek mythology) in literature 615 7$aJason (Greek mythology) 615 7$aMedea (Greek mythology) 676 $a883/.01 700 $aApollonius$cRhodius,$0259531 702 $aRace$b William H.$f1943- 801 0$bMaCbHUP 801 2$bTLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201328203316 996 $aArgonautica$919278 997 $aUNISA
