The author traces the sea route of the Argonauts along the eastern Adriatic coast from the Quarnaro to Planca Cape, as described in the Argonautica by Apollonius of Rhodes. The focal points of this text are: - The confirmed identification of the two Brigeides islands with Cherso e Lussino in the light of new data; - The localization of the Hylloi in the Zara peninsula; - The new identification of Dyskélados with the island of Zuri because of its etymon which could refer to dangerous navigational point and because of rich shipwrecks found around it.
