Murray, Jackie. “A Critical Race Studies Approach: Race and Racecraft in Apollonius’s Argonautica.” In The Epic World, ed. Pamela Lothspeich. 15-29. London: Routledge, 2023.
Study of classical Greek epic literature about the Argonauts. The chapter shows how the Argonauts dehumanize particular opponents—the people of Cyzicus, the Bebrycians, and a Libyan herder—and argues that these slain enemies are configured along the lines of racial monstrosity. Of interest to students of the Classics, Greek literature, and mythology.
