Članek obravnava motiv potovanja, kakor nastopa že v prvih kulturnih formacijah v prazgodovini. Opozori na pomen naracije, s katero so miti in poetični opisi potovanj dobili svojo celostno formo. Dva ...temeljna modela motiva potovanja sta Homerjeva Odiseja in starozavezni kanon Biblije. Članek obravnava ep Argonautika Apolonija Rodoškega iz dobe helenizma. Prikaže pa inovativno in drzno interpretacijo slovenskega baročnega pisca J.L. Schönlebna iz 17. stoletja. Ta je na podlagi dveh grških avtorjev iz pozne antike (5. stoletje), Sozomena in Zosima, opisal, kako so Jazon in Argonavti ustanovili Emono leta 1222 pr. K., nato pa prišli do Jadrana po skritem rečnem prehodu mimo Predjame, po reki Vipavi in Soči.
The paper analyses the disintegration of identity and fragmentation of the narrative voice in the novel Alla cieca (Blindly, 2005) by Claudio Magris. Through the metaphor of sailing, the Trieste ...writer explores various aspects of narration, focusing on the autobiographical narrative; furthermore, he reflects on the multiple identity of the modern ego and on the destructive force of History, whose oppression has been perpetuated in the recent periods as well. The many issues addressed by the novel are connected by the continuous presence of the Argonaut myth, evoked by numerous intertextual references to the Argonautica by Apollonius Rhodius and to the Argonautica Orphica - a title which is, in contrast to that of the Hellenistic poem, not explicitly cited in the text.
