IX. Ascensão de Vasco da Gama

Os deuses da tormenta e os gigantes da terra Suspendem de repente o ódio da sua guerra E pasmam. Pelo vale onde se ascende aos céus Surge um silêncio, e vai, da névoa ondeando os véus, Primeiro um movimento e depois um assombro. Ladeiam-no, ao durar, os medos, ombro a ombro, E ao longe o rastro ruge em nuvens e clarões

Embaixo, onde a terra é, o pastor gela, e a flauta Cai-lhe, e em êxtase vê, à luz de mil trovões, O céu abrir o abismo à alma do Argonauta.

(PESSOA, Fernando. Mensagem. 2. ed. 1. reim. São Paulo: Martin Claret, 2009. p. 47.)

Accepted Answer

D) It’s a classic hero’s quest tale - a sort of ancient Greek mission impossible - in which the hero embarks on a sea voyage into an unknown land, with a great task to achieve. Jason’s journey was seen by the ancient Greeks as the first long-distance voyage ever undertaken. Historically, once the Greeks learned to sail into the Black Sea they embarked on a period of colonisation lasting some 3.000 years. (WOOD, Michael. Jason and the Golden Fleece.17 February 2011.

Answer

A) The mythology of the ancient world is a rich source of fantastic stories, and a fantastic story is a great start for a role-playing game. The story of Jason and the golden fleece is the basis of Rise of the Argonauts, the upcoming action RPG from Codemasters and Liquid Entertainment. The game will retell this classic tale with heavy-duty action game elements and an emphasis on storytelling and choices with consequences.

Answer

B) The modern version of the Argo, which ancient Greek myth says carried Jason and the Argonauts on their quest, is set to launch Saturday from the city of Volos, Greece, on its voyage through the waters of six countries, the Athens News Agency reported Friday. The ship is scheduled to complete its voyage on Aug. 12 in Venice, Italy. The new Argo follows the design specifications of ancient Greek penteconters, including a simple wooden sail and space for 25 rowers on each side. (UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL.
