		He argues that the Phineus episode as a whole is (14) "a lesson to Jason in the avoidance of hybris and the necessity of themis" and that the encounter is part of Jason's education in the Argonautica.
		Jackson sees the Argonautica as focussed on Jason's "character, nature, and thoughts" in various situations, and describes his education, his departure from and return (in the story of Euphemus in Book 4) to themis, and his pragmatic devotion to ananke throughout the poem.
		The Argonautica is indeed an important part of the Alexandrian debate about the goals and nature of poetry in the new age, but it is too great a poem to be pigeonholed as no more than metapoetic allegory.

		Argonautica is designed to help students learn about the oceans and the role of satellites in oceanography.
		Participants are given an empty plastic shell from which they have to construct a functional buoy fitted with sensors capable of withstanding harsh ocean conditions plus an anchor to keep the buoy in position as it drifts with the currents.
		This December after more than a year of work, the Argonautica team completed their buoy with seven temperature sensors and an anchor, which they constructed from plastic pipe and cement.

		As he notes, modern readers of the Argonautica tend to deny "heroic" status to the Argonauts, Jason in particular, who is often called an anti-hero, love-hero, or life-like hero (among other such designations).
		Finally, in his analysis of speeches in the Argonautica, Hunter argues that Apollonius employs an un-Aristotelian approach in his use of indirect speeches, an approach possibly suggested by Plato (Rep. 393e-4b).
		After suggesting that the Aetia was, along this line of reasoning, both and neither "one" and "continuous," Hunter turns to the Argonautica and posits that the same is true of this poem, which, on the one hand, proceeds continuously, while its author and his characters eschew telling stories "continuously" (1.649, 2.391, 3.401).

		In recent years the subtlety and complexity of Apollonius' Argonautica have been better appreciated, but in Dr Hunter's view the purposes and aesthetic of the epic are still not readily understood and much basic analysis remains to be done.
		A series of studies deal with notions of heroism; with eros and the suffering of Medea; the role of the divine; poetic voice and literary self-consciousness; and the Ptolemaic context of the poem.

	OMACL: The Argonautica: Introduction
		Callimachus attacks Apollonius in the passage at the end of the "Hymn to Apollo", already mentioned, also probably in some epigrams, but most of all in his "Ibis", of which we have an imitation, or perhaps nearly a translation, in Ovid's poem of the same name.
		(4) The subject of love had been treated in the romantic spirit before the time of Apollonius in writings that have perished, for instance, in those of Antimachus of Colophon, but the "Argonautica" is perhaps the first poem still extant in which the expression of this spirit is developed with elaboration.
		The Medea of Apollonius is the direct precursor of the Dido of Virgil, and it is the pathos and passion of the fourth book of the "Aeneid" that keep alive many a passage of Apollonius.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 94.1.12
		Scholarly work on the Argonautica of Apollonius Rhodius in recent years has grown both in the number of articles, dissertations, and books devoted to the epic and, more importantly, in the openness of attitude on the part of the authors.
		While I agree that Jason's words and actions should not be explained simply by appeal to his 'character' or 'psychology' (21), other tangible elements in the text -- in particular, the many literary subtexts -- can (and I believe do) lead us toward unitarian readings of Jason, however complex and ambiguous such readings must be.

	Meredith MONAGHAN Domitian and the Argonauts: The Trouble with Tyranny in the Argonautica of Valerius Flaccus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In Valerius' Argonautica, elaborate descriptions of three non-Roman tyrants - Pelias, Amycus, and Aeetes - invite speculation on the extent to which these characters reflect the position and practices of the Roman emperor.
		The poem's insistent emphasis on the instability of these tyrants' reigns highlights the crisis created by the death or removal of an emperor, recalling the civil wars that ensued after the end of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and reflecting contemporary anxiety surrounding Domitian's lack of an heir.
		Valerius' Argonautica suggests that Rome's future is not pre-determined, but rather depends upon the ability of the Roman emperor to differentiate himself from the behavior of the doomed tyrants depicted therein.

	Talk:Argonautica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Regards what Jene said, it's not really the case; the present article was started at Argonautika, while Argonautica was just a redirect to Jason, after a previous stub had been merged with the former.
		The surviving version of Argonautica Orphica is actualy of the IV or V century AD.
		As far as the Orphic Argonautica, I wonder if it should have its own article, or if there should just be an article Orphic poetry vel sim., because there's quite a bit of miscellaneous stuff attributed to Orpheus.

		In her outrage, Medea sent Glauce a poisoned bridal dress which killed the prospective bride, burned Creon alive in his own palace, killed her children by Jason, and made her escape in a chariot drawn by winged dragons.
		The details of the terrible events subsequent to the close of the Argonautica story would have been familiar to Valerius readers, and he constantly plays off their knowledge of events subsequent to his own narrative to create grimly ironic effects.

	Apollonius & the Muses: the fiction of choral performances in the Argonautica (1
		Recent scholarship on the nature of the narrator in the Argonautica has convincingly shown that Apollonius creates the illusion that his literary epic is a song improvised in front of a live audience by a divinely inspired bard.
		Here we argue that there is a significant intertextual relationship between the phrase Dios archômenos, typical in hymnic preludes and the opening phrase of the Argonautica, archômenos seo Phoibe.
		We show that projections of this aspect of the fictional performance can be observed in the presentation of the Argonauts as an epinician chorus beginning in the Iolkian episode.

		Reviewed by James E.G. Zetzel -- Columbia University The interpretation of the Argonautica has developed rapidly in the past generation, and the complexity and brilliance of the poem has become ever clearer.
		Jackson makes a plea for regarding Jason not as a failed hero but as a normal human being thrust uncomfortably into a heroic poem (30): "As a Hellenistic hero Jason is, in fact, not a hero of non-human proportions at all, but a man, with all man's qualities and faults.
		Apollonius' Argonautica is a work of Hellenistic sensibility composed within the traditional framework of epic convention, motif and idiom." This is no less acceptable as a basis of interpretation than is DeForest's more fashionable metapoetic reading: "Underlying Jason's story is a struggle between Homeric tradition and Callimachean poetics--a struggle treated with exquisite irony and humor.

		In de Argonautica gaat het om een confrontatie van twee culturen.
		Terwijl Harder de Argonautica meer inhoudelijk bekijkt, is Scherer voornamelijk geïnteresseerd in de vernieuwende literaire technieken van Apollonios en de intertekstualiteit van diens epos: “Op zichzelf kan je de Argonautica lezen als avonturen- of liefdesverhaal, maar het is ook een tekst over narratologie en poëtologie, dus over het maken van verhalen en gedichten.
		Apollonios zinspeelt op het werk van oudere auteurs als Homeros en Euripides, maar hoe hij gegevens uit hun werk opneemt is nooit meteen duidelijk.
