Myfiats. The Golden Fleece and the Argonauts. Volume 10

The plot of the next volume of the series "Myfiats" by the French authors Christophe Casanova and Philippe Larbié revolves around one of the most popular and thrilling adventures in Greek mythology — the journey of the Argonauts. In brief,... everyone knows this story: Jason and his companions set off to distant Colchis, from where he brought back a unique relic: the golden fleece... Golden? Fleece? Well, what is fleece? And why is it golden? And why did Jason need it? And why did he have to go so far for it? And how did he manage to gather such an awesome team, including none other than — frightening to say! — Hercules? And, most importantly: why did the Argonauts' journey turn into a tragedy (or even a whole string of tragedies) when the main goal of the expedition was successfully achieved? After all, Jason brought the notorious golden fleece to Greece, right? On these and many other questions, the authors provide detailed answers based on ancient sources — primarily the famous "Argonautica" by the Greek poet Apollonius of Rhodes, the most complete Greek text about the journey of the Argonauts. But wait a minute! Which tragedy are we talking about when the characters in the book are cheerful and carefree little myfiats? They simply haven't grown up to tragedy yet, and if they ever do, it definitely won't be on the pages of this humorous series... So don't worry: everything will be fine with the myfiats, Tavrik guarantees!
