"The Argonautica" by Apollonius Rhodius is a Greek epic poem written in the 3rd century BC. It recounts Jason and the Argonauts' voyage to retrieve the Golden Fleece from remote Colchis, focusing particularly on Jason's relationship with Medea, a Colchian princess and sorceress. The poem incorporates scholarly research in geography, ethnography, and religion while pioneering new narrative techniques to explore the psychology of love, profoundly influencing later Latin poets including Virgil.
