Summary

As in her Tony Awardwinning Metamorphoses,Mary Zimmerman transforms Greek mythologyhere the story of Jason and the Argonautsinto a mesmerizing piece of theater. Encountering an array of fantastical creatures and daunting challenges in their "first voyage of the world," Jason and his crew illustrate the essence of all such journeys to followtheir unpredictability, their inspiring and overwhelming breadth of emotion, their lessons in the inevitability of failure and loss. As the goddesses Athena and Hera narrate (and participate in) the tale, we come to recognize the deep humanity of the characters in their desires and struggles. However certain they are to end in grief, our constant quests for love and the realization of our dreams make us who we are. Zimmerman brings to Argonautikaher trademark ability to encompass the full range of human experience in a work as entertaining as it is instructive.
