Enter the living world of Greek myth. Join Jason, Acastus, Hercules and the rest of the crew of Argo on their epic quest for the Golden Fleece. It is a world of gods and monsters, a world where prophecies and curses come true, a world haunted by demons and populated by epic heroes. And it is a world where male love was accepted, celebrated and even revered. Jason’s native city Iolcus is under a curse. The king is tormented, people are abandoning the haunted city and it is slowly dying. The only hope appears to be retrieving the Golden Fleece, which was lost to Iolcus generations earlier. Jason and his cousin Acastus take on the daunting task of assembling a company of athlete/heroes to recover the Fleece from Colchis, the legendary land at the end of the world. Along the way they find adventure, danger—and love. The Loves of the Argonauts, based on the original Greek myths in their various versions, vividly recreates that world and the Argo’s storied journey on a truly epic scale.

An intrepid voyage out to the frontiers of the latest thinking about love, language, and family Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts is a genre-bending memoir, a work of "autotheory" offering fresh, fierce, and timely thinking about desire, identity, and the limitations and possibilities of love and language. It binds an account of Nelson's relationship with her partner and a journey to and through a pregnancy to a rigorous exploration of sexuality, gender, and "family." An insistence on radical individual freedom and the value of caretaking becomes the rallying cry for this thoughtful, unabashed, uncompromising book.

Written in Greek in the 3rd century BC, "Jason and the Argonauts" or "The Argonautica" is the epic of Apollonius of Rhodes. It is the only surviving Hellenistic epic and recounts the timeless tale of Jason and the Argonauts and their quest to retrieve the Golden Fleece. Based upon sources such as Homer and Pindar and written during the age of the famous Library of Alexandria, Apollonius was the first to include in his retelling of the already famous tale information about the geography, ethnography, and comparative religions of the places and people Jason encountered on his voyage. Apollonius revolutionized this ancient dramatic form and developed narrative techniques such as the interior monologue so that the audience could truly understand and identify with the character's thoughts and feelings. "The Argonautica" explored in detail the love between Jason and the foreign princess and sorceress Medea in a much more expansive and emotional way than had Homer. Apollonius is often credited with beginning the tradition of the romantic novel. "The Argonautica" influenced such ancient writers as Catullus, Ovid, and Virgil and remains widely studied and adapted for modern audiences. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the verse translation of Arthur S. Way.

Few classical stories are as exciting as that of Jason and the Golden Fleece. The legend of the boy, who discovers a new identity as son of a usurped king and leads a crew of demi-gods and famous heroes, has resonated through the ages, rumbling like the clashing rocks, which almost pulverised the Argo. The myth and its reception inspires endless engagements: while it tells of a quest to the ends of the earth, of the tyrants Pelias and Aetes, of dragons' teeth, of the loss of Hylas (beloved of Hercules) stolen away by nymphs, and of Jason's seduction of the powerful witch Medea (later betrayed for a more useful princess), it speaks to us of more: of gender and sexuality; of heroism and lost integrity; of powerful gods and terrifying monsters; of identity and otherness; of exploration and exploitation. The Argonauts are emblems of collective heroism, yet also of the emptiness of glory. From Pindar to J. W. Waterhouse, Apollonius of Rhodes to Ray Harryhausen, and Robert Graves to Mary Zimmerman, the Argonaut myth has produced later interpretations as rich, salty and complex as the ancient versions. Helen Lovatt here unravels, like untangled sea-kelp, the diverse strands of the narrative and its numerous and fascinating afterlives. Her book will prove both informative and endlessly entertaining to those who love classical literature and myth.

Thousands of readers love Argonauts, calling it a "fantastic tale" and "clever, rich, and highly entertaining."It's a new twist on an old myth.It's the story of Jason, a wealthy son of privilege who longs to be a warrior. His father's death means Jason can finally join the Argonauts, an elite group of warriors who've overhauled their genetic code.It's the story of Medea, a scientist who toils away in a lab changing people's genes. She gives the warriors their powers, but she never gets an ounce of credit. And now she's found herself fighting alongside them.And it's the story of an adventure turned suicide mission, all for the sake of a crown.Readers love the twists on ancient Greek mythology. The story of Jason and Medea is thousands of years old. It was once the subject of some of the greatest plays and poems in human history, but the myth has died away in recent years. We remember Hercules, but whatever happened to Jason?Argonauts retells the old story in a near-future science fiction setting, with future technologies replacing ancient magic. One Goodreads reviewer wrote: "I love mythical retellings and this is certainly one of the most innovative.... It shouldn't work, but it does. The ancient Greek names and themes actually seem to feed perfectly into the world...." Another reviewer said she "loved the spinning of the classic tale into something futuristic and different!"Even if you're not a mythology expert, you'll find yourself recognizing pieces of the myths. Maybe you're a Game of Thrones fan who'll learn where the Harpies came from, or where Cersei Lannister got her name. Or maybe you're a Harry Potter fan who'll learn about the myths that inspired characters like J.K. Rowling's Amycus Carrow. These authors loved the myth, and you might, too.Readers love the science fiction premise. You've heard the stories in the news. Jobs being taken by robots. The corporate elite revealed to be more and more corrupt. Extremists all over social media. Strange technologies that do things you couldn't imagine.Where will it all lead? Argonauts is a look at the future through the lens of the past. Greek mythology was full of monsters. But the monsters of the future don't come from a magic potion. They've changed their genes, and they aren't entirely human anymore.Sci fi fans are raving about the book. One reader called it a "sci fi gem." Another said it was "reminiscent of Asimov" and "very well done." And a third called it "a welcome addition to the reading shelf of fans of sci fi."Even readers who aren't exactly nerds have found themselves enjoying it. As a Goodreads reviewer put it: "I really enjoyed the book, it's not a book I would normally pick up and read. But branching out this time certainly paid off!"Readers love the romance. One of the most famous romances in history was between Jason and Medea - a Greek warrior marked for death, and the sorceress who saved him. It was a passion inspired by the gods, and a love doomed to end in tragedy - at least in the old myths.There's no tragedy in this book, but the love story is still there, and reviewers love "the chemistry between Jason and Medea." A strong, commanding warrior, sent off to die in a foreign land. A sorceress who starts out as his enemy, but finds herself helping him instead as she falls deeper and deeper in love.It was a passionate love, the kind that inspired a princess to give up everything she cared about to save a hero from a foreign land. In Argonauts, Medea is a scientist, not a sorceress - but there isn't that much difference in the end.Give Argonauts a try today.You'll experience the myths. You'll wonder about the future. And you'll fall in love with Jason and Medea, all for less than the price of a movie. Join...
