Las Argonáuticas

Little information has reached us about Apollonius of Rhodes, a Greek poet of the Alexandrian period. We know that he was born around 300 BC in Alexandria, where he was director of the famous library and tutor to the heir to the throne. In "The Argonautica," an epic poem in four books, Apollonius recounts the adventures of Jason and the Argonauts in their quest for the Golden Fleece, one of the best-known mythological tales of antiquity.
