Abstract

In the Argonautica’s prelude, one image, that of the man wearing only one sandal, stands out. Has this initial image any impact as a symbolic tool on the unfolding cognitive process of the narrative or on the re-negotiation of pre-established meaning? Can it be used as potential premise for further interpretative goals? And what meaning does Apollonius want to assign to it? Our aim in this paper is to highlight the meaning of this embodied metaphor, as a cognitive and emotional construct, and to demonstrate that it plays crucial role in Apollonius Rhodius’Argonautica, establishing and re-negotiating the whole coherence of the poem.
