Though some of the episodes of Jason's story draw on ancient material, the definitive telling, on which this account relies, is that of Apollonius of Rhodes in his epic poem "Argonautica", written in Alexandria in the late 3rd century BC. Another "Argonautica" was written by Gaius Valerius Flaccus in the late 1st century AD, eight books in length. The poem ends abruptly with the request of

Though it never eclipsed the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi, Dodona gained a reputation far beyond Greece.

"Nauplius", and "Palamedes", were the titles of two plays by the 4th century BC Attic tragedian Astydamas the Younger, And the 3rd century BC poet Lycophron also wrote a play with the title "Nauplius".

The only surviving Hellenistic epic, the "Argonautica" of Apollonius of Rhodes (epic poet, scholar, and director of the Library of Alexandria) tells the myth of the voyage of Jason and the Argonauts to retrieve the Golden Fleece from the mythical land of Colchis. In the "Argonautica", Jason is impelled on his quest by king Pelias, who receives a prophecy that a man with one sandal would be his nemesis.
