EDITORS COMMENTS
Argo Navis: The Mythological Voyage of Jason and the Argonauts in Celestial Form This enchanting engraving, taken from the Poeticon Astronomicon by the renowned Roman author Gaius Julius Hyginus, presents the captivating mythological tale of Argo Navis, the constellation of the Southern Hemisphere, represented by the legendary ship Argo. Dating back to the 15th century, this incunable (a book printed before 1501) was edited in the enchanting city of Venice and showcases the intricate artistry of the time. The Argo, a ship of heroic proportions, was the vessel used by the brave Jason and the Argonauts on their daring quest to retrieve the Golden Fleece. This fleece was said to possess magical properties and was guarded by the fearsome dragon, Draco. The constellation of Argo Navis commemorates their remarkable journey, forever etched in the night sky. The intricate engraving, colored with meticulous detail, captures the essence of the mythological tale. The Argo, with its sails fully unfurled, cuts through the celestial waters, leaving a trail of stardust in its wake. The constellations of the Southern Hemisphere, including the nearby Crux, the Southern Cross, are also depicted, adding to the grandeur of the scene. This exquisite artwork, a testament to the richness of mythology and the artistic prowess of the Renaissance period, continues to captivate the imagination and inspire awe in those who gaze upon it. The Argo Navis, a beacon of heroism and adventure, remains a reminder of the enduring power of myth and legend.
