Klappentext As in her Tony Award-winning Metamorphoses , Mary Zimmerman transforms Greek mythology--here the story of Jason and the Argonauts--into a mesmerizing piece of theater. Encountering an array of daunting challenges in their "first voyage of the world," Jason and his crew illustrate the essence of all such journeys to follow--their unpredictability, their inspiring and overwhelming breadth of emotion, their lessons in the inevitability of failure and loss. Zusammenfassung "Argonautika: The Voyage of Jason and the Argonauts was adapted primarily from two versions of the ancient tale: The Argonautika! by Apollonios Rhodios! translated by Peter Green; and The Voyage of the Argo: The Argonautica of Gaius Valerius Flaccus! translated by David Slavitt."
