What is Argonautika : the voyage of Jason and the Argonauts about?

As in her Tony Awardwinning Metamorphoses , Mary Zimmerman transforms Greek mythologyhere the story of Jason and the Argonautsinto a mesmerizing piece of theater. Encountering an array of daunting challenges in their first voyage of the world, Jason and his crew illustrate the essence of all such journeys to followtheir unpredictability, 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.
