Jason and the Argonauts 4.18.2007

Apollodorous wrote a summary of Greek myths in 2nd cen. CE. i.e., prose not poetry. refers, however, to all manner of texts (histories, mythographies, tragedies, archaic epics, etc.) Jason’s adventures occur BEFORE events in Iliad. that doesn’t mean they were composed before Homer; it just means they occur chronologically before the Trojan War.

Jason’s Genealogy

Jason’s Adventures runs into many of the same creatures that Odysseus encounters. Although Odysseus’ adventures occurred mostly in the eastern Mediterranean. So the mythical geography has changed significantly from Homer to Apollodorous (approx. 900 years apart).
