'The Argonauts were terrified at the sight. But Jason planting his feet apart stood to receive them, as a reef in the sea confronts the tossing billows in a gale.'

Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. Apollonius of Rhodes (3rd century BCE). Apollonius of Rhodes's The Voyage of Argo is also available in Penguin Classics.

I love reading old myths and legends, but I wonder with this particular translation if the translator was a little too eager to keep all of the poetic elements as some segments were very convoluted. Other wise a good story, and a fun little read.

The story of the ancient Greek hero Jason on his quest for the Golden Fleece. But really, he never would've made it without the help of Medea.

writerlibrarian Penguin Classics are just so lovely, aren't they? 🙂 (edited) 7y
Brie Yeah, I love them. I'm basically collecting them by now. @writerlibrarian 7y

This feels like an 'it's not you, it's me' moment. I need to sit down with some Greek mythology 101 books.l because there are so many names in these that I think I'm expected to know and I don't and it just becomes difficult to follow, I will try again when I know what I'm talking about
