The introduction discusses Apollonios in his Alexandrian world and proposes a new understanding of his poetic puropse and acheivement. The commentary is especially good at explaining mythical allusions which abound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939587490080,"sku":"NEW0520076869","price":160.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-argonautika-by-apollonios-rhodios-0520076869","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
