Apollonius of Rhodes

Apollonius of Rhodes was a Greek poet and scholar who lived in the third century BC. Despite his name, he was probably born in Alexandria or nearby in Egypt, then ruled by the Ptolemies. Ancient biographies say he served as head of the great Library of Alexandria and later moved to the island of Rhodes, which gave him his surname, but details of his life are uncertain and the accounts sometimes disagree. His one surviving work is the Argonautica, an epic poem in four books that tells the story of Jason and the Argonauts: their voyage on the ship Argo to Colchis at the edge of the Black Sea, the winning of the Golden Fleece with the help of the princess Medea, and the long journey home. Written in the style of Homer but in a more learned and personal manner, it gave special attention to Medea's love and inner conflict, and it influenced later Roman poets, including Virgil in the Aeneid.
