The Argonautika, the only surviving epic of the Hellenistic era, is a retelling of the tale of Jason and the Golden Fleece, probably the oldest extant Greek myth.

This expanded paperback edition contains Green’s incisive commentary, introduction, and glossary. Alternate spelling: Argonautica, Apollonius Rhodius
