Now in a riveting new verse translation Jason & the Argonauts (also known as the Argonautica), is the only surviving full account of Jason`s voyage on the Argo in quest of the Golden Fleece aided by the sorceress princess Medea. Written in third century B.C., this epic story of one of the most beloved heroes of Greek mythology, with its combination of the fantastical & the real, its engagement with traditions of science, astronomy & medicine, winged heroes, & a magical vessel that speaks, is truly without exact parallel in classical or contemporary Greek literature & is now available in an accessible & engaging translation. Apollonius of Rhodes published his first version of the Argonautica sometime in the middle of the third century B.C. At the end of his life he was director of the famous Library of Alexandria, which was the principal storehouse of all literature & learning at the time. Aaron Poochigian, born in 1973, is a poet & an associated lecturer in Classics at The Ohio State University & has translated the Penguin Classics edition of Stung with Love: Poems & Fragments by Sappho, as well as works by Aeschylus & Aratus.

Traveling by sea, they encounter trial after trial along their route

- & yet more challenges await them at their destination. For before he will give up the fleece, the king devises a test for Jason that will certainly be the death of him
- unless the king's daughter, Medea, agrees out of love for Jason to lend him her magical powers. This is a classic tale of high adventure that holds appeal for boys & girls alike.

The 1:50, 000 topographic map gives a more general picture of the ground features than a basic map. It shows settlements, houses, roads, cultivated areas, waterways, cutting areas, mires, rock exposures, & relief. One map sheet covers an area of 30 x 40 km & one centimetre corresponds to 500 metres on the ground. The 1:50, 000 topographic map is also an ideal complement to nautical charts as it provides useful information about the land areas adjacent to waterways. For example, all Finnish sea areas are covered by 1:50, 000 topographic map sheets. ...
