JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS

The well-known and much-loved author Eleni Dikaiou continues to write books on the subject of Mythology, and after The Great Voyage of Odysseus (which was even honored in 2004 with the National Book of Knowledge Award for Children), she writes for young and older children two books about the adventures of jason. Written simply, with imagination and truth, Jason and the Argonauts and Jason and the Quest for the Golden Fleece take us to the mountain of the Centaurs, Pelion, and the small kingdom of Iolkos and unfold the adventures and exploits of Jason, the who had the courage to travel to the end of the world to bring the golden fleece to Iolkos.
The texts of Eleni Dikaios and the wonderful images of Louiza Larageorgiou give “flesh and bones” to one of the most famous heroes of mythology and let us know everything about the hero’s wonderful journey and the conditions of his time.
Combining scientifically based knowledge with an engaging way of storytelling, the author aspires to introduce young and old readers to the magic of the myths of Greek mythology and to prove that the charming stories of our ancient ancestors can become novels through which the modern reader he can draw not only patterns through time, but also the enjoyment and participation in the adventure, to place his own self there. To say, in other words, that these stories can also be his own stories.
