Hunter Richard
THE ARGONAUTICA OF APOLLONIUS Literary Studies
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0521413729 . Minor Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Minor edgewear along lower edge of DJ. ; 216 pages; In recent years the subtlety and complexity of Apollonius' Argonautica have been better appreciated but in Dr Hunter's view the purposes and aesthetic of the epic are still not readily understood and much basic analysis remains to be done. The present book seeks to offer some of that analysis and to place the Argonautica within its social and intellectual context. A series of studies deal with notions of heroism; with eros and the suffering of Medea; the role of the divine; poetic voice and literary self-consciousness; and the Ptolemaic context of the poem. A pervasive theme of the book is Apollonius' creative engagement with Homer and a final chapter sketches out an approach to Virgil's use of Apollonius in the Aeneid. The Argonautica emerges as a brilliant and original experiment. This book is the only advanced study of the Argonautica currently available. All Greek is translated. .
