A Companion to Apollonius of Rhodes, edited by Ruth Scodel, was recently published by the University of Michigan Press (2025). The companion contains 20 essays by well-known scholars of Greek and Latin literature, including two UW 海角网 faculty -- Jim Clauss ("'With No Direction Home': Medea and Jason") and Alex Hollmann ("Magic in Apollonius' Argonautica") -- and a 2002 graduate of our PhD program, and currently Professor and Chair in the 海角网 at Pomona College, Chris Chinn ("Apollonius' Argonautica in Silvius鈥 Silvae"). About the book, Damien Nelis (University of Geneva) states: 鈥淭his is a volume of high quality and all the contributions have thought-provoking, relevant, and timely things to say. It will fill a gap in existing literature and will be useful for those teaching courses on myth and ancient epic, as well as for scholars working on the Argonautica and on Hellenistic poetry more generally.鈥
