Argonautika

Written by Mary Zimmerman 

Adapted from THE VOYAGE OF JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS

Gaius Valerius Flaccus Translated by David R. Slavitt

Apollonius Rhodius Translated by Peter Green

As in her Tony Award鈥搘inning Metamorphoses, Mary Zimmerman transforms Greek mythology鈥攈ere the story of Jason and the Argonauts鈥攊nto a mesmerizing piece of theater. Encountering an array of daunting challenges in their 鈥渇irst voyage of the world,鈥 Jason and his crew illus颅trate the essence of all such journeys to follow鈥攖heir un颅predictability, their inspiring and overwhelming breadth of emotion, their lessons in the inevitability of failure and loss. Bursts of humor and fantastical creatures enrich a story whose characters reveal remarkable complexity. Medea is profoundly sympathetic even as the seeds are sown for the monstrous life ahead of her, and the brute strength of Hercules leaves him no less vulnerable to the vicissitudes of love. Zimmerman brings to Argonautika her trademark ability to encompass the full range of human experience in a work as entertaining as it is enlightening.
