To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Those heard it who dweltin the Colchian land very far from Titanian Aea, near the outfallof Lycus, the river which parts from loud-roaring Araxes andblends his sacred stream with Phasis, and they twain flow ontogether in one and pour their waters into the Caucasian Sea. And through fear young mothers awoke, and round their new-bornbabes, who were sleeping in their arms, threw their hands inagony, for the small limbs started at that hiss. And as whenabove a pile of smouldering wood countless edd...ies of smoke rollup mingled with soot, and one ever springs up quickly afteranother, rising aloft from beneath in wavering wreaths; so atthat time did that monster roll his countless coils covered withhard dry scales. And as he writhed, the maiden came before hiseyes, with sweet voice calling to her aid sleep, highest of gods, to charm the monster; and she cried to the queen of theunderworld, the night-wanderer, to be propitious to herenterprise. And Aeson's son followed in fear, but the serpent, already charmed by her song, was relaxing the long ridge of hisgiant spine, and lengthening out his myriad coils, like a darkwave, dumb and noiseless, rolling over a sluggish sea; but stillhe raised aloft his grisly head, eager to enclose them both inhis murderous jaws.
