Hello, this is Let's Talk About Myths Baby

and I am your host, Liv, here with another episode of the

Organodica by Apollonius. Now this is the ancient Hellenistic

epic all about Jason, you know how we love? Anyway, how Jason exists

and his trip with the organods to capture the golden fleas. Now I'm sure based on all of that and you

haven't listened to my podcast, I can imagine you will understand who is coming along in this story.

But not yet, because this is only part two of book one. Now this epic is only four books.

So if you thought it was going to be epicly long by me splitting up the books into two or three,

it's not, it just means we're going to have, you know, eight to twelve episodes instead of four,

which is totally reasonable. And like I mentioned, these will be interspersed with conversation episodes.

It won't be only epics and it won't be only conversations. I've got to keep myself sane.

A note about the translation, it's very old. And so when I think of it, I'm changing words like

spake and ye, to words like spoke and you. So this is almost an exact use of that translation,

but frankly, I'm making it a lot easier for us all to understand.

So without any further rambling, a reminder from last week, we have been introduced to all of the

organotes. They are extensive and they are preparing to set sail on their ship.

And they just settled in to have a little bit of a sleep before they set sail.

This is the Argonautica by Apolognes translated by RC Ceton.

Book One Part Two

Now when gleaming dawn with bright eyes beheld the lofty peaks of Pelion and the calm headlands

were being drenched as the sea was ruffled by the winds, then typhus awoke from sleep.
