Sažetak
The most complete retelling of the story of the Argonauts comes to us not from the Classical age, but from the Postclassical period, in the age of Alexander. This is surprising, as the Argonautica represents the oldest of the epic cycles, a fact noted by the ancient Greeks themselves. Jason is, presumably, the hero of the narrative. He is overshadowed, however, in the second half of the poem by Medea. This work will examine to what degree Jason corresponds to the archetypal hero of the high mimetic mode, as outlined by Northrop Frye, both by examining Jason’s role in the narrative and contrasting it with that of Medea. Along with Frye’s theories about the high mimetic mode, his theories concerning the romantic and mythical strands will also be examined, in order to provide a more complete picture of the heroes of the Argonautica. The first section of this paper will examine the theoretical framework that I will use to discuss the archetypal hero of the high memetic mode, which will serve to elucidate the manner in which Apollonios of Rhodes deconstructed the image of the hero with the protagonist of the Argonautica, Jason. A non-protagonist hero of the epic poem is examined in light of the theoretical framework in the second section of this paper, namely Medea. Following this, I will attempt to use textual evidence in the concluding section to support the idea that Apollonios of Rhodes used Jason to deconstruct the traditional literary representation of the epic hero.
