Mifjata. The Golden Fleece and the Argonauts. Volume 10

The plot of the next volume of the Mythia series by the French authors Christophe Cazenove and Philippe Larbier is one of the most popular and exciting adventures of Greek mythology - the voyage of the Argonauts. Everyone knows this story in brief: Jason and his comrades set off for distant Colchis, from where he brought back a unique relic: the Golden Fleece... Golden?.. Fleece?.. Okay, but what is a fleece? And why golden? And why did Jason need it? And why did he have to go such a long way to get it? And how did he manage to assemble such a cool team, including - scary to say! - Hercules himself? And, most importantly: why did the Argonauts' voyage turn into a tragedy (and even a whole string of tragedies), if the main goal of the voyage was successfully achieved? After all, Jason brought the notorious Golden Fleece to Greece, right?.. The authors give detailed answers to these and many other questions, relying on ancient sources - first of all, the famous "Argonautica" by the Greek poet Apollonius of Rhodes, the most complete Greek text about the voyage of the Argonauts. Although wait a minute! What tragedy are we talking about if the characters in the book are cheerful and carefree little mythy children? They simply haven't grown up to tragedy, and if they ever do, then certainly not on the pages of this humorous series... So don't worry: everything will be fine with the mythy children, Tavrik guarantees it!
