A GREAT STORY OF PRODIGIOUS DEEDS TOLD WITH THE FIRE AND IMAGINATION OF AN INCOMPARABLE WRITERThe legendary search of Jason-the ancient Greek mythological hero and leader of the Argonauts-is brought to life in this novel of a pagan age. Henry Treece journeys with one of the world’s great adventurers as he escapes the orgiastic sacrifices of the mother-goddess, falls in love with the beautiful queen of an isle of women, marries the snake-witch Medea, conquers a kingdom, and wins the unattainable-the fabled Golden Fleece. It is an informed novel, beautifully written. It’s loaded with adventure, violence, hairbreadth escapes, and bloody conquests. It recreates with conviction a world of paganism in which every man was fearfully religious and in which horrors were perpetrated constantly in the name of the great mother-goddess.
