Using spatial theory developed in the social sciences, this book explores the representation of space in Apollonius's Argonautika as both an affirmation of Greek culture and a questioning of the differences between Greeks and non-Greeks. It presents a unique perspective on Apollonius' famous poem and on the early Ptolemaic period.
