    Jason and the Golden Fleece: The Argonautica , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
    Jason and the Golden Fleece is one of the finest tales of Ancient Greece, an epic journey of adventure and trial standing beside similar stories of Perseus, Theseus and the Labours of Heracles. The finest classic account comes from Apollonius of Rhodes, the Greek poet of the 3rd century BCE and librarian at Alexandria. Though less well-known than Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and much shorter, it is an epic poem which is both exciting and moving, with remarkably vivid portraits of the main characters, Jason and Medea. In the hands of Apollonius, these are far from one-dimensional figures of ancient myth. Jason is a very human hero, forced to undertake the quest by a vengeful ruler, and though he leads a ship full of heroes - Heracles, Peleus, Caster and Polydeuces among them - he has moments of doubt and prevarication which he has to overcome in order to ultimately grasp the Golden Fleece. And Medea, a virgin witch possessing consummate skill with spells and an ability to be cruel, is shown here with some sympathy, for she is under the sway of the immortals Hera and Athena. Succumbing to their machinations and Eros's arrow, she finds herself on a dangerous path, flouting the will of her powerful father Aeetes, King of the Colchians, to help the Argonauts. And then there is the ship itself, Argo, wrought with the help of Athena to survive the challenges of a distant voyage past Scylla and Charybdis into the Black Sea. Apollonius weaves plot and poetry, courage and boldness, tenderness and sympathy, to fashion one of the greatest monuments of Western literature. R. C. Seaton's classic translation has been considerably revised for this recording by Nicolas Soames, and it is read with verve by Jonathan Keeble. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Keeble.

    Jason and the Golden Fleece , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 350min
    Jason and the Golden Fleece, also titled The Argonautica, is the epic poem of Jason's quest for the golden fleece of the winged, golden-woolled ram, Chrysomallos, which was a symbol of authority and kingship. Written by Appolonius of Rhodes in the third century BCE, it is the only surviving Greek epic which bridges the gap between Homer and late antiquity. Jason travels with a group of kings and demigods to Colchis, after various detours where the crew faces monsters, storms, and other obstacles. In Colchis, the daughter of the king who is a sorceress, helps Jason to obtain the famous fleece. The return journey is even longer and more adventurous, taking Jason and his crew to the west, far beyond the Black Sea and the Aegean. The narrative explores many fundamental themes like love, deceit, heroism, ignorance, and the limits of knowledge, and offers a gripping tale. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Die Argonautensage
    Gustav Schwab ist kein Dichter gewesen. Und doch hat sein Schaffen mehr bewirkt als das seiner literarischen Zeitgenossen. Seitdem die 'Sagen des klassischen Altertums' erstmals 1838 erschienen sind, sind Sie nahezu selbst ein klassisches Buch geworden und Generationen Jugendlicher haben darin mit nicht weniger heißen Köpfen gelesen, wie in den 'Märchen aus 1001 Nacht' oder in Daniel Defoes unsterblichen Roman 'Robinson Crusoe'. Anders als in den 'Mythen', die auf einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher antiker Autoren zurückgehen, gab es für die 'Argonautensage' eine einheitliche Quelle: Das Epos 'Argonautica' des Apollonius von Rhodos. Mit einem Einleitungstext gesprochen von Andrea Hörnke-Trieß.

    Jason and the Argonauts: The Origins and History of the Ancient Greeks' Most Famous Mythological Hero , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
    The story of Jason and his crew of Argonauts is one of the best-known and most beloved myths of all time. Blockbuster movies have been made about it, and legendary explorer and historian Tim Severin even constructed a replica of the Argo in 1984 and succeeded in sailing it to Colchis (modern-day Georgia). In the ancient world too, this myth was told and retold time and again. The best source of the myth available to the modern audience (generally considered to be Apollonius Rhodius's Argonautica) comes from the Hellenistic Period (ca. 323-31 BCE), which is very late in terms of most sources available for Greek myth. This means that the story written at that time had already been exposed to centuries of influences and additions. However, mythology is not the study of a story's beginnings alone, and very often, it is the changes and adaptations that provide the story with its most fascinating characteristics. The vague geography of the Argo's story will become apparent, but it's also important, because there are numerous theories as to why the ancient writers may have charted the journey as they did. The Argo's journey was as revelatory to Jason as it was to the late ancient Greek readers/listeners, since it incorporated many of the mythical, political, and cultural themes that pervaded myths throughout the Mediterranean. ungekürzt.

    Hercules & Jason and the Argonauts: The Legendary Stories of Ancient Greece’s Most Famous Heroes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 126min
    There are few mythological characters that require less of an introduction than Hercules. His "labours" are known and have been reimagined by cultures far beyond their Greek beginnings, and he continues to influence modern culture in more ways than any other ancient Greek hero.  What is curious about Hercules's character is that, despite his fame even in the ancient world, there was no authoritative source for his biography. The Library of Myths, commonly though falsely attributed to Apollodorus, is frequently used to illustrate the key episodes of Hercules's life. Despite being written at some time during the 2nd century CE, the Library encapsulates much of the “conglomerate of popular tales” that has become Hercules’s vulgate biography.  Ultimately, though these tales are well known, their true beauty lies in the social and religious influence of their telling and the historical memories that remain, to this day, as shadows in their lines. The story of Jason and his crew of Argonauts is one of the best-known and most beloved myths of all time.
