The Argonauts. The myth of Jason and Keneif. A novel by Sjón.
Here, readers meet Valdimar Haraldsson, an elderly Icelander with lofty ideas about the impact of fish consumption on the cultural level of the Nordic nations. It is 1949 and Valdimar has the unexpected opportunity to become a passenger aboard a Danish cargo ship bound for the Black Sea.
Among the crew is a seasoned sailor named Keneif. After dinner, he tells his shipmates the story of when he sailed on the legendary ship Argo, led by Jason, son of Eson, and participated in the great expedition of the Argonauts to Colchis to retrieve the Golden Fleece. On the way there, the sailors stopped at Lemnaea and discovered, to their surprise and considerable joy, that only women lived there.
