The Argonautika by Apollonios Rhodios

A fun adventure story, but no great literary merit that I could find. I liked Jason in a “Oh, he's cute, but wow is he ever useless” sort of way. I was impressed with Medea's sense of helplessness, begging for her own safety over and over. She obviously trusts nobody and assumes that no one has her best interest at heart. That may account for why she becomes so wicked later in life.
