This volume presents a companion text to ancient Greek poet Apollonius of Rhodes, author of the epic poem Argonautica, which stands on a level of importance with other major ancient epics like the Aeneid or the Odyssey. Ruth Scodel and her contributors examine Apollonius' work from three points of view-his literary influences and impact on contemporary writers, the actual work of Apollonius, and his later reception in Latin. This companion volume seeks to help readers with varied reasons to be interested in Apollonius-whether they are interested in Latin poets whom he influenced, or in patronage, or narrative method. A Companion to Apollonius of Rhodes aims to help contemporary readers appreciate what is most characteristic of Apollonius' epic-its fascination with ritual and myth, gods who act without the direction of Zeus, frequent distanced narration, the portrayal of characters in situations where there are no good choices. It includes thorough analyses of the poem's relationship to contemporary art with illustrations and treats familiar topics, such as Jason's leadership, with nuance. Contributors include Benjamin Acosta-Hughes, Annemarie Amb�hl, Anja Bettenworth, Keyne Cheshire, Christopher Chinn, James Clauss, Adele Teresa Cozzoli, Kristopher Fletcher, Alexander Hollmann, Regina H�schele, Niklas Holzberg, Alison Keith, Adolf K�hnken+, Anatole Mori, William H. Race, Norman Sandridge, Selina Stewart, Stefanie St�rner, and Graham Zanker.
