Beschreibung
Imagine a storyteller in ancient Greece who makes his living telling stories about recent events, sometimes only two or three generations after the events took place. How different might these stories be to the ones written down over 500 years later?
Tony Whitefield retells the well-known Greek myth of Jason and the Argonauts, using the voice of his storyteller Peter. By imagining these ancient stories without the direct influence of gods on the participants, Tony attempts to unravel the mythological explanations explaining what might have occurred.
It is the year 1190 BCE and a group of people have gathered to listen to Peter the storyteller. One of his most requested stories concerns a young man by the name of Jason who together with forty-eight men and one woman, set off on an impossible journey to the edge of the known world in a boat named 'Argo' to locate a golden sheep's fleece. In doing so, they discover much more than they had originally imagined.
