The Argonautica by Apollonius of Rhodes is a classic Greek epic that tells the legendary story of Jason and the Argonauts on their perilous quest to retrieve the Golden Fleece. Blending adventure, romance, and myth, the poem follows their encounters with gods, monsters, and distant lands, including Jason's fateful meeting with Medea. Celebrated for its rich imagery, psychological depth, and influence on later epic poetry, The Argonautica remains a foundational work of ancient literature and heroic storytelling.
