«El vellocino de oro» is the historical novel by Robert Graves, published by Edhasa in paperback (512 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows the expedition of the Argo, which sets sail from Iolcus with a crew of heroes and demigods to seize the legendary Golden Fleece from the king of Colchis. Amid episodes along the Black Sea coast, Graves weaves the marvellous with a reconstruction of the character, beliefs and customs of the ancient Greek world.
It is part of Edhasa's Pocket collection, where it bears number 118. The Spanish translation is by Lucía Graves; the original English work was published as The Golden Fleece.
For readers of historical fiction and classical mythology; also for those seeking a Greek-set adventure with cultural depth.
Robert Ranke Graves, whose second name is sometimes given as von Ranke, was an English poet, novelist and critic. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, a celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic revival; they were both Celticists and students of Irish mythology.
