Publisher's Synopsis
Argonautica est poema heroicum Apollonii Rhodii, quod de expeditione Argonautarum narrat. Librum scriptum est ex octo veteribus libris, quorum plerique nondum collati puerant. Poema est compositum in lingua Graeca, sed in hoc libro est editum in lingua Latina. Apollonius Rhodius, poeta Alexandrinus, vixit circa 300 a.C. et fuit discipulus Callimachi. Argonautica est una ex operibus eius quae ad nos pervenerunt. Poema narrat de viagio quod Iason cum Argonautis in navem Argo fecit ad petendum velum aureum a regina Colchidis. Poema est plenum de aventuris, periculis, et amori.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
