SINOPSE
The author of I, Claudius puts his own twist on the myth of the Argonauts’ quest for the Golden Fleece: "A tour de force . . . A richly tapestried epic" (Kirkus Reviews).
An inventive reimagining of the story of Jason and the Argonauts, this novel by renowned poet and classicist Robert Graves brings heroic figures of Hellenistic myth to life. Graves’s Jason is belligerent, energetic, and full of life, and the society Graves builds for him is outlandish and deeply invested in ancient cults.
Against this primitive, religious backdrop, the charismatic Jason assembles a crew and sets out to retrieve the sacred gold-trimmed fleece that is sacred to Zeus, and that has been stolen by worshippers of the Triple Goddess. Accompanying him is Hercules, a brave warrior known more for his brawn, and his astonishingly good luck, than his brains. Robert Graves builds a compelling world that sets Hellenistic magic and mystery in a surprisingly gritty, realistic setting, a fascinating read for fans of Greek mythology.
"A witty historical novel with much insider’s lore on cult and ritual." —The New York Review of Books
"Richly readable, thoroughly classical yet individually interpreted, this is a labor of love important to students, culture-seekers and readers." —Library Journal

SOBRE O AUTOR
Robert Graves
Robert Graves nasceu em 1895 em Wimbledon, filho do escritor irlandês Alfred Perceval Graves. Foi professor de Literatura Inglesa na universidade do Cairo em 1926 e eleito professor de Poesia em Oxford no ano 1961, mas vivia da escrita e ficou conhecido pelas suas perspectivas nada ortodoxas. A sua principal vocação foi a poesia, mas também escreveu obras de ficção e não ficção, sobretudo romances históricos, como A Filha de Homero, Eu, Cláudio ou Rei Jesus. Dos seus livros ensaísticos destacam-se A Deusa Branca, que apresenta uma nova perspectiva do impulso poético, a compilação do primeiro dicionário moderno de mitologia grega, Os Mitos Gregos, e a sua célebre autobiografia, Goodbye to All That. Em 1971 tornou-se Fellow do St. John’s College, Oxford. Morreu em Dezembro de 1985 em Maiorca, onde morava desde 1929. A sua editora britânica, a Penguin, chamou-lhe «o maior poeta do amor desde Donne.
