This new, strict translation of Orpheus' Argonautika is the first line-matching edition. Presented side-by-side with the Greek, this translation goes to great lengths to capture every detail implied in the Orphic tale. 

Other available translations prioritize 'smooth readability' at the expense of the original. This edition was composed with fidelity in mind, even when that fidelity forces clunky or archaic English.

Scholars have often ignored the Orphic Argonautica as a late work, uninfluential or even unimportant to Orphism or its study. This edition aims to dispel that notion and prove, at the very least, that the poem's mortal author was at least as aware of certain Orphic ideas as we are.

Rather than just a quirky late-antique epic poem written in imitation of a long-past mystery tradition, Orpheus' Argonautika is one of a small handful of texts to survive from the very tradition many are quick to separate it from.
