{"product_id":"9781609807672","title":"The Golden Fleece","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlong with \u003ci\u003eI, Claudius\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Fleece\u003c\/i\u003e is considered one of Robert Graves's most exciting and transporting historical novels. The Golden Fleece was at one time the most sacred religious object of the ancient Greeks, and had been sent away as the result of a power struggle between the Greeks and earlier inhabitants of the Greek peninsula. In this the original quest narrative, Jason leads a voyage of heroes, including his friend Hercules and many others, in his ship the Argo, to recapture the sacred Golden Fleece and bring it home. To do so he must travel across the whole of the ancient world, perform impossible tasks, and undergo betrayals and tragedies beyond comprehension or human endurance.            \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoet, translator, memoirist, novelist, classicist Robert Graves stands alone for his ability to bring to modern readers the great stories of the ancient world with all their vividness and gore and power intact. As he has shown in many of his 140 published works, his facility with ancient myths and his understanding of how they still inform our imaginative lives helps make \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Fleece\u003c\/i\u003e feel as fresh and necessary today as it did the first time someone told the story of Jason and the Argonauts some three thousand years ago.            \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven Stories' Robert Graves Project spans 14 titles, and includes fiction and nonfiction, adult, young adult and children's books, in a striking new uniform design, with new introductions and afterwords.
