Apollonius Rhodius, Herodotus and Historiography, Paperback/***

Examines the relationship of Apollonius of Rhodes' Argonautica with Herodotus' Histories. Argues that it uses Herodotean historiography as a key intertext in order to manipulate the reader's generic expectations for an epic poem and to complicate the relationship between the contemporary Hellenistic Mediterranean and the distant mythological past.
