Condition: Gut. pp. 115-126. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: The single most important reason used by critics who point out the socalled esthetic failure of Apollonius Argonautica is the pallid and unprepossessing figure of Jason. Apollonius Jason furnishes the paradigm of the compromised hero: it is true that he acquires the Golden Fleece - but only by recourse to a virgin-witch and her drugs; it is true that he returns to Greece with his mission accomplished - but only after treacherously and shamelessly slaying Apsyr-tus, an act known as doloktasia (4,479). But Jasons weakness, according to most critics resides in the fact that he is amechanos; he appears to be compromised even by his epithet. The patriarchs of the Bible are called tzadikim, Achilles is poddkes, Odysseus is polymetis, Aeneas is plus - but Apollonius Jason is only amechanos. Suassez defines this word as sans ressource, sans moyen, sans invention and goes on to enumerate Jasons traits as embarassment and indecision (embarras, incertitude). The same attributes are conveyed by the verb aschalldn which is used of Jason. Jasons amechania is his aporia, his aphasia.

Now in a riveting new verse translation, Jason and the Argonauts (also known as the Argonautica) is the only surviving full account of Jason's voyage on the Argo in quest of the Golden Fleece aided by the sorceress princess Medea. Written in the third century B.C., this epic story of one of the most beloved heroes of Greek mythology, with its combination of the fantastical and the real, its engagement with traditions of science, astronomy and medicine, winged heroes, and a magical vessel that speaks, is truly without parallel in classical or contemporary Greek literature and is now available in an accessible and engaging translation.

Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. Apollonius of Rhodes (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλώνιος Ῥόδιος Apollṓnios Rhódios; Latin: Apollonius Rhodius; fl. first half of 3rd century BC) was an ancient Greek author, best known for the Argonautica, an epic poem about Jason and the Argonauts and their quest for the Golden Fleece. The poem is one of the few extant examples of the epic genre and it was both innovative and influential, providing Ptolemaic Egypt with a "cultural mnemonic" or national "archive of images",[1] and offering the Latin poets Virgil and Gaius Valerius Flaccus a model for their own epics. His other poems, which survive only in small fragments, concerned the beginnings or foundations of cities, such as Alexandria and Cnidus places of interest to the Ptolemies, whom he served as a scholar and librarian at the Library of Alexandria. A literary dispute with Callimachus, another Alexandrian librarian/poet, is a topic much discussed by modern scholars since it is thought to give some insight into their poetry, although there is very little evidence that there ever was such a dispute between the two men. In fact almost nothing at all is known about Apollonius and even his connection with Rhodes is a matter for speculation.[2] Once considered a mere imitator of Homer, and therefore a failure as a poet, his reputation has been enhanced by recent studies, with an emphasis on the special characteristics of Hellenistic poets as scholarly heirs of a long literary tradition writing at a unique time in history.[3].

Folio, ff.[198]; [a]al?8 a8 b10 A?L?8 MM4; Greek text with title and preface in Latin, large woodcut initials and headpieces; title slightly soiled and with skilful paper repair to lower outer corner, very lightly washed and pressed with a few very skilful marginal repairs, small rust hole to first three leaves (touching headpiece and one character), but a very good, wide-margined copy; nineteenth-century brown morocco by Francis Bedford (front turn-in signed in gilt), boards panelled in blind and gilt with gilt floral cornerpieces, spine gilt in compartments and lettered directly in gilt, edges gilt; very slightly rubbed at extremities; nineteenth-century armorial bookplates of William Horatio Crawford of Lakelands and John Vertue, Bishop of Portsmouth to front pastedown.A beautiful example of early Greek printing, containing the editio princeps of the grammar of Theodorus Gaza, and one of the first texts to be printed entirely in Greek. Theodorus Gaza arrived in Italy from the Byzantine Empire around 1440, teaching Greek in Mantua, Ferrara, Rome, and Naples, and translating Greek texts into Latin, in particular the works of Aristotle. He probably composed much of his grammatical treatise while teaching in Rome in the early 1450s; it was widely distributed in manuscript from the 1460s onwards, reaching England, Paris, Louvain, and Germany by the 1480s. It proved particularly successful in England, where numerous manuscripts were produced before this first printed edition. Compared with earlier grammars, Gaza sought to simplify grammatical structures; he also arranged the text so that the simple material in the first book was then expanded in greater detail for the second. Alongside the grammar, Aldus included Gaza's treatise on the calendar as well as a work by the second-century grammarian Apollonius Dyscolus and a text on Greek numerals attributed to the second-century writer Herodian. Unlike other Greek grammars in circulation at this time, the text was solely in Greek (except for the preface by Aldus), and it was printed in a larger format, which was reflected in its initial purchase price, higher than, say, the grammar of Constantinus Lascaris which had been issued in a quarto format earlier in 1495, with the text in both Greek and Latin. These grammatical texts were in keeping with Aldus' programme of Greek publications, designed to enable scholars to learn enough Greek themselves to read the Greek texts of Aristotle, Theocritus, Theophrastus, Athenaeus, and Aristophanes that were soon to appear from Aldus' press.
