Argonautika

Written by Mary Zimmerman

Adapted from THE VOYAGE OF JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS

Gaius Valerius Flaccus Translated by David R. Slavin

Apollonius Rhodius Translated by Peter Green

March 15 - March 24

Jason and the Argonauts encounter 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, and their lessons in the inevitability of failure and loss. Bursts of humor and fantastical creatures enrich a story whose characters reveal remarkable complexity. Medea is profoundly sympathetic even as the seeds are sown for the monstrous life ahead of her, and the brute strength of Hercules leaves him no less vulnerable to the vicissitudes of love.
