"Along with I, Claudius, The Golden Fleece is considered one of Robert Graves's most exciting and transporting historical novels. The Golden Fleece was at one time the most sacred religious object of the ancient Greeks, and had been sent away as the result of a power struggle between the Greeks and earlier inhabitants of the Greek peninsula. In this the original quest narrative, Jason leads a voyage of heroes, including his friend Hercules and many others, in his ship the Argo, to recapture the sacred Golden Fleece and bring it home.

El vellocino de oro
Robert Graves
Publicado: 1944 | 560 páginas
Novela Aventuras

«El vellocino de oro» es una historia legendaria, que desde hace miles de años ha incendiado la imaginación de quien la lee o escucha. Sucesión de fantásticas peripecias en la que se narra la venturosa expedición de los Argonautas en busca de una extraordinaria piel de carnero, esta obra se basa en un viaje supuestamente realizado en 1225 a. C. A bordo de la nave «Argo», que parte de las costas de Farsalia, la tripulación está capitaneada por Jasón e integrada por los más atractivos personajes de la mitología: Hércules, Orfeo, Atalanta de Calidón, Meleagro, Cástor, Pólux, Linceo, Autólico, Peleo, Mopso y Nauplio, entre otros.

Graves here subverts the received version of the story by situating it in an ancient world of magic and gods, where the worship of the mother goddess has been written out by later traditions. There are some thrilling bits here, as the Argo plays hide-and-seek with its pursuers around the margins of the Black Sea. Graves has a lovely eye for detail, and the humour is a bit hearty but also humanising. ( )

I probably read this in high school and thoroughly enjoyed re-reading it. With a myth you already know the story- the trick is to see how the writer makes it work. I love Graves' perspective and am going back to revisit his myths and the White Goddess.
I was struck by how few scholars these days (or maybe I just don't hang in the right circles) actually read the classics in Greek and Latin. What sources we must be missing! We do have the modern information that comes from Archeology and aerial photography, but these sources tell what the men of the time (or at least those who wrote about them) in their own words.
My greatest complaint is the difficulty in finding a map to follow along. They had one of the Aegean area, but once they got past Lemos, we were (like the Argonauts) in Terra Incognita. Apparently Graves had a large government map of the Black Sea while he was writing it. I wish he'd included a map in the book! ( )

This novel, not surprisingly for those who know Robert Graves preoccupation with the idea of a transition from matriarchal worship of the Triple Goddess to the patriarchal Olympians, fairly creaks with scholarship. Every incident seems constructed to buttress some portion of theory to reconcile traditional accounts with Graves interpretation. Nor is it a novel in the usual sense. Incident after incident is recounted but we have little access to the inner lives of the characters. Nor is Heracles really a major character. Interesting to a student of Graves, but not engrossing as a story. ( )

But as a rule the ancient myths are not found to yield a simple and consistent story, so that nobody need wonder if details of my recension cannot be reconciled with those given by every poet and historian. Diodorus Siculus. Bk.IV, 44: 5,6

Nor is this to be wondered at: the Goddess has always rewarded with dismemberment those who love her best, scattering their bloody pieces over the earth to fructify it, but gently taking their astonished souls into her own keeping.--LAWRENCE NORFOLK (pg. xvi)
