Musings in Greek Literature Prof. Deborah Beck Musings on Homer’s Iliad, Sophocles Antigone, and Apollo's Argonautica Argonautica, The by Apollonius Rhodius (3rd Cent. - 3rd Cent. ) LibriVox The story of how Jason and a group of famous heroes of Greece took to sea in the Argos has been told many times, before and after Apollonius of Rhodes, wrote his Argonautica, in the 3rd century b.C.. It is not only the oldest full version of the tale to arrive to our days, but also the only extant example of Hellenistic epic. This was already a popular myth by the times of Apollonius, who makes the story of how Jason and the Argonauts sail to Colchis in search of the Golden Fleece, and have to go through a lot of adventures to fulfill their task, a mix of simple narrative and scholarly catalog. The Argonautica had a deep impact on European literature as a whole. (Summary by Leni) The Twelve Labors of the ONEIRONAUTS Chris Botkin Book 4, "The Twelve Labors of the ONEIRONAUTS," is a book of dreams -- or maybe nightmares. An "oneironaut" is a traveler in a lucid dream, and in this installment of the Cousin Chronicles, the Cousins and Pets become oneironauts, trapped in Dreamland.To earn their release, they must perform a variety of "labors," that through sheer coincidence may remind us of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Pilgrim's Progress, The Wizard of Oz, The Odyssey, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and "Argonautica" by Apollonius of Rhodes.In Dreamland, they learn two things: they control the dream, and one never knows when a plague of dung beetles will come in handy.-- Chris Botkin Argonautica by Apollonius Rhodius Loyal Books The story of how Jason and a group of famous heroes of Greece took to sea in the Argos has been told many times, before and after Apollonius of Rhodes, wrote his Argonautica, in the 3rd century b.C..
