Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Voyage of the Argonauts Warnings and examples may be of more than one kind they may affect the spirit of man as well as his practical behaviour. It is at least arguable that the Odyssey had a practical value; it has certainly a moral justification. The days that make us happy make us wise, and for the spirit these wan derings of Odysseus are not only a delight, but a lesson courage, endurance, resource, generosity are exemplified in them and in the work of Herodotus as clearly as in the stricter narrative of the most scientific historian. And inasmuch as the example they Show commends itself as aptly to the present day as to their earliest hearers, they are as nearly a possession for ever as mortality can compass.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Argonauts of North Liberty Hardly one of us, I think, really believed in the auriferous probabilities of Eureka Gulch. Following a little stream we had one day drifted into it - very much as we imagined the river Gold might have done in remoter ages - with the difference that we remained there, while the river Gold, to all appearances, had not. At first it was tacitly agreed to ignore this fact and we made the most of the charming locality, with its rare watercourse that lost itself in tangled depths of manzanita and alder, its laurel-choked pass, its flower-strewn hillside and its summit crested with rocking pines.

Book Synopsis The Voyage of Argo by : Apollonius Rhodes
Download or read book The Voyage of Argo written by Apollonius Rhodes and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in the third century BC in Alexandria, this is the only full surviving account of Jason's legendary quest for the Golden Fleece. It describes the thrilling adventures of the Argonauts on their voyage to Colchis to plead with king Aeetes for the fleece, his greatest treasure - and the Eros-inspired passion felt by his daughter, the beautiful witch-princess Medea, for the scheming Jason. Chronicling a journey that sees Jason and his crew traverse perilous seas, negotiate the treacherous Cyanean Rocks, and confront the lure of the Sirens' song, The Voyage of Argo is a masterful depiction of distinctly human heroism and betrayal caused by love. An eloquent marriage of romance and realism, it tells the definitive version of one of the greatest legends of the classical age: an epic tale of bravery, prophecy and magic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Argonauts: And Selected Verse Lished a distinction which it behaves us to recognise here, since that distinction was valued by those whom it favoured, and became in later days a local mark of honour, having its psychological, if not its social value, wherever the men of the pioneer times drew together. Goldseekers and voyagers they all had been, but it was to the men of the Great Year alone - the new-comers of 1849 - that the designation of Argonauts came to be dis tinctively applied.* It follows that in giving to this selection from Bret Harte's works the title which it bears - a title for which we are indebted to a precedent set by the best Of all authorities we are, in fact, using the leading term a little largely, a little beyond or aside from the rigour of its right Californian meaning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Wonder Voyages The story of The Argonauts had been told so well by Kingsley that I dared not commit the sacrilege of pro ducing a rival version. I have to thank Messrs Mac millan for permitting me to utilise his Heroes. Mr. Alfred Nutt with his usual kindness has provided me with a version of Maelduin, in which he has had per mission from Dr. Whitley Stokes to use his translation which appeared in the Revue Celtique. Hasan I have retold in an abridged form, using as my originals the three translations from the Arabic, none of which were suficiently simple to suit the audience for whom I in tended his Adventures. For my Icelandic I have had to resort to the friendly offices of the Rev. J. Sephton, who has been good enough to translate the Eric Saga for this volume, while I have combined with it an adapta tion of Thorkill's Voyage to the World Beyond the Ocean, from Saxo Grammaticus, utilising for that pur pose Mr. Elton's version published by the folk-lore Society. To all these gentlemen I hereby record my grateful thanks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is a crusade without a cross, an exodus with out a prophet. It is not a pretty story; I do not know that it is even instructive. It is of a life of which, per haps, the best that can be said is that it exists no longer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
