Jason’s voyage in search of the Golden Fleece became one of the ancient world’s defining stories—a journey of heroes and kings, treacherous seas and impossible trials, divine favour and human betrayal.
Sent by the usurping King Pelias on a mission intended to end in his death, Jason assembles an extraordinary company and boards the newly built Argo. Among his companions are Heracles, Orpheus, Castor and Polydeuces, Peleus, Telamon and the winged sons of the North Wind. Together they cross the ancient Mediterranean and Black Sea worlds, confronting murderous rulers, supernatural creatures, the Clashing Rocks and the dangers of an unfamiliar coast.
Yet the Golden Fleece cannot be won through heroic strength alone.
In Colchis, Jason encounters Medea, daughter of King Aeetes and granddaughter of the Sun. Her knowledge protects him from the fire-breathing bulls, defeats the warriors born from dragon’s teeth and overcomes the sleepless serpent guarding the fleece. Her help secures Jason’s triumph—but requires her to abandon her family, homeland and former life.
Drawing carefully upon the surviving ancient sources, Jason and the Argonauts follows the complete story from the origins of the Golden Fleece to the building of the Argo, the gathering of Greece’s heroes, the trials in Colchis and the dangerous voyage home. It also explores the real geography and ancient societies behind the legend while clearly distinguishing literary tradition from verifiable historical and archaeological evidence.
More than an adventure, this is a story of contested kingship, collective heroism and promises whose consequences outlived the voyage itself. Jason wins the prize, but Medea makes victory possible—and the cost of that victory follows them long after the Argo returns.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
