Recensioner i media
"Fascinating. A magisterial presentation of the historical data." — Dan Merkur, University of Toronto"By showing the continuous presence of the idea of the Argonauts and the voyage of the Golden Fleece in our history, the author demonstrates this myth to be a basic archetype of Western culture. The book is continually interesting to read." — Christopher Bamford, Lindisfarne Press
