Jason’s story is most memorable for me because how much of a sissy he was the entire time, he was always on the backseats of important event and when matters are resolved it’s usually not because of his knowledge or decisiveness, but the spotlight is on other characters. If Chiron has to turn in his grave because of one of his students, that would be Jason.

@@pyrosianheir There is a major difference between being under a LOVE spell, and cruelly MURDERING several people. I would not call latter as sane in ANY meter. Also the spell was caused by Aphrodite, so her wrath should have been directed towards her, not toward various random people like a person Jason ended up falling for, or their own children. There's also a big difference between understanding a victim and defending a mass murderer because some other person slipped them a "love roofie". If you say that she e.g. wants to ruin Aphrodite and various other meddling gods after she found out, that I can understand. If you say she wants to murder several people because of something gods did to her - some of them children, my understanding ends there. She is no victim of those people, she is either evil or insane.

The Ray Harryhausen Jason And The Argonauts wasn't my introduction to mythology as a whole, but it was one of my earliest exposures to GREEK Mythology, so I'm in almost the exact same boat as you, my friend!

How about a video on Medea? She is much more than just a helper-maiden in the Jason story. It is because of her magic (not blessing) that Jason accomplished the tasks. Medea drugged the dragon to sleep enabling Jason to secure the golden fleece. It was her cunning and initiative that resulted in Pelais' death, relieving Jason and his father of the responsibility. Then Jason drops her to marry Glacous (spelling? - daughter of the King of Corinth), and her terrible revenge takes effect. Her escape in a golden chariot supplied by Helios shows she is still in good standing with the gods. Breaking his vow with Medea makes him lose favor with Medea. Her story is highly complicated, and has many versions. I would love to see you unweave it. I don't think she is insane, but a leader.

Mythology always has me amazed

Almost forgot to leave a "like": watched the whole Novartis ad that immediately followed. Pretty good, since I've had heart issues.... The "Golden Book Encyclopedia" was my entry into mythology - and I still didn't get how much nobler Hector was than Achilles. Just a picture of a corpse being dragged around Troy. The 1963 version of "Jason And the Argonauts" hooked me too. I watch it whenever I can. The Harryhausen effects never get old to me - especially since I learned how painstaking they were to accomplish. I liked the 2003 version too - watched on KZread. A different telling; a different Jason - perhaps truer to the myth than its antecedent. More in line with your account. I liked the inclusion of Orpheus and the female who I don't think was Atalanta. Subscribed approaching two years ago but haven't revisited in nearly a year. I learned about the Krampus from you. And this video, was amused to find Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite collaborating to help Jason. They're the trio that Paris was forced to judge resulting in the Trojan War. Still can't get over Athena stripping naked to impress a mortal.... So, congratulations on completing this video: sometimes it's hard to present the things dearest to us for fear of mishandling them. You did fine. Also, I'm glad to see your work prospering. Keep up the good work and don't let the myths obscure the Truth.

I love mythology, especially Greek mythology. The stories never seem to be just black and white there is usually a grey area in the middle. Heracles and Jason were the two stories that grabbed my interest for mythology when I was a kid.

You are a gentleman and a scholar, my good sir.

Hey friend! Nice work. My first call, came from the Odyssey, but I feel the argonauts are even more legendary... Now! Lemnos is at modern day Greece, not Turkey. And women smell nice there nowadays... The crew fell onto the seirenes too at some point, any they were saved by Orfeus' soothing song, which captivated them more than the seirenes. Orfeus was maybe even as legendary as Heracles at this quest, as he was the one who put, the golden fleece guarding dragon to sleep, again, with a song. Also, on the ship was Laertis too! Odysseus' father. You see, the argonauts, were a generation of heroes, before the Trojan war heroes! Heracles at one of his adventures, blessed baby Ajax with his lion skin, making him nearly invincible! Ajax of the Trojan war! This is what I find really wondrous and legendary in this story! The argonauts were GolDRoger, Whitebeard and Shanks to the Luffies of Troy! They were their fathers and inspiration! Keep living the Mythos people! Bye

My grandfather got me hooked on Jason and The Argonauts. Talos scared the crap out of me. Also the 7th voyage of Sinbad was epic. The cyclops are dope in that movie. The sound they make was terrifying.

Funny enough, my love for mythology also started at my Nan and Grandads as well, but it was the strategy game Age of Mythology, still play it every now and then.

I watched the same movie at my grandparent’s house all of the time growing up!

Lemnos belong to Greece... w'been there, w'seen the Argonauts cave.

I actually hadn't seen JATA until after Clash of the Titans' 81 (well after it had been popular in syndication). Continues to fascinate me to this day.

Been waitnig for this man. I really wanted to hear the myth but never found a good full video on it. Your content is always consistent in its good quality or it improves and gets better so I know this too will be good. :)

Loses sandal helping Hera. Hera knows what’s up. Hera decides to giving him a god damn blessing instead of just buying him a new sandal. Classic.

No way! You grew up on several old classics too? Man, Jason and the Argonauts is a movie of my childhood too! I also love Clash of the Titans (the original from the 80s), that's the first movie that got me interested in Greek mythology. Jason and the Argonauts came in at close second. :) One of the most memorable parts of that movie is when the Argonauts finally get to Colchis, and they see Medea and her other priestesses dancing before the altar of Hecate. I love the music of that scene, and it makes me wish I could dance that gracefully. LOL I also remember the harpies scene, and it wasn't until many years later that I learned that the harpies are actually the sisters of Iris, which got me thinking, how the hell do you get the harpies and the beautiful goddess of the rainbow all as sisters? I guess that's Greek myth for ya. :P I gotta say, at the end of listening to this video, I found myself somewhat melancholic. Jason wasn't the greatest guy, but I feel sorry for him. After all his great feats, he gets killed in such an anticlimactic way, and alone and lonely. I guess you can say he had it coming, to a degree, but still, kind of a tragic life. He goes to all these great lengths to accomplish things as a Greek hero, only to all have it fall apart, kind of a wasted and pathetic life, and that's very sad. I've read about The Divine Comedy and Dante places Jason in one of the circles of Hell reserved for seducers, since Jason seduced a few women on his way to getting the Golden Fleece, which I thought was pretty harsh. But hey, Dante is known for having hated all Greek heroes (especially the ones involved in the Trojan War), so that's probably the real reason why he put Jason in there. LOL One of my favorite parts of the real myth of Jason is where they get past the sirens having Orpheus play his lyre to overpower their voices. I've seen that compared to Odysseus wanting to hear the sirens' song, and how well that worked out for him. I've seen this comparison of the two scenes as a way to warn against wanting to long for something that's not good for you. If you pine away for something that's bad for you, it will be hard for you to let it go so you can appreciate better things in life. But if you face that thing with something better, and the hope of better and healthier things, you will overcome that obstacle, as Orpheus' melody had overpowered the sirens. It's for this reason that Orpheus has held a special place in my heart for a long time now. :)

Hey hey, ever thought about covering the polynesian mythology? I think it is also pretty fascinating!

This channel is incredible. I enjoy learning from it. You provide amazing information, and the art is astounding!

When I need to come back to myself and find peace, I always come back to you and this channel! Thank you for your dedication to myths and legends. 💓

I would like to start off by saying you are my most favourite history channel, your so clear and it's so easy to understand you, I love the art work you have and the music. Keep up the amazing work sir

Jason: we've selected you as our captain. Heracles: no u

This video and the Hestia video got me excited for season 3 of danmachi.

I remember seeing my dad watch the movie when I was a toddler and I watched it with him to his surprise. That movie got me interested in myth, history and acting

I thought Atalanta killed the Caladorian Boar...? It’s probably just another story.

Thanks Again I now know The Story Of the Golden Fleece 👍🏻❤️

The tale of the ram with the golden fleece is a tale in and of itself, it would be a nice follow-up to this video, considering their connections. Interestingly enough, one of the peoples in Irish mythology are believed to have actually had contact with the Greeks, in the worst way possible. The Fir Bolg, one of the people mentioned in Ireland's Book of Invasions (the collection of mythological stories about who came to settle Ireland) are believed to have spent several generations as slaves of the Greeks before returning Ireland with the sacks of fertile soil they spread bout the rocky lands of Ireland. From what I've gathered this mostly going on what little is said about the people that became the Fir Bolg and where they went when they left Ireland. But it's interesting to think that these peoples that were treated peripheries that barely got mentions in the stories might actually be major players in the mythology and lore of other nations. Just a little something to think about as the Feast of Saint Patrick approaches.

Yes !! Ive been waiting for this one and been waiting for you to release another video. I must say im addicted to your channel. Well done and keep em comin

Oh my Zeus, is that Captain Hulk-AmeriGreek!? (Hercules)

Thanks for the refresh!! I read this a good 20 or more years ago, and I value it as one of the best stories ever told. I also liked your end summary (synopsis actually) very much, I pretty much feel the same way about it.

Glad to have you back

Jason: We have a quest! Argonauts: Yay! Jason: ... and we have eleventy two hundred side quests we can't skip. Argonauts: Yay! Jason: LOLWUT? Heracles: Dude, it's called sarcasm. I know, it doesn't translate well via MMO chat.

How about Odysseus for your next vid? I would like to hear his whole life story too.

So this myth is basically one large crossover episodes with all the greats participating

Great hearing the story from start to finish - love your work

Funny how in Friday 13 we talk about jason XD

😂 I just peeped.

So there's a good theory out there that says: that the tale of Jason and the Argonauts is a memory of the first greek settlers in the Black Sea around the Bronze Age, from the mycenaean period of Greece. Around 1300 BC or sometime before that date.

What I love is that we still tell our children about this stories.

I really enjoyed the way you break down this story! Thanks

Ah Yes, *Enslaved* Dragon/Phyton, literally!

I saw the 1963 movie like 2 days ago. I watched it until 2 in the morning.

I loved this story when I was a child. It encouraged me to learn more regarding Mythology from across the World. The story of Jason and his endeavors was a tale of Trade. Greece opened up trade throughout the Mediterranean and eventually the Black Sea where the Caucasus tribes used sheep fleece to collect gold from the creeks and streams, learning how the use the plough and many elements of the story that was actually related to reality.

Thank u! I love story time & u do an awesome job telling them. It was well worth the wait.

I adore the Robert Graves book The Golden Fleece and this video is a wonderful glimpse back into the adventures! Thank you and well done!

Love this channel. Obsessed with all the mythologies all over the world.

Man this new intro looks amazing

The game Rise of the Argonauts got me interested in this subject. You just filled in all the blanks. You answered all my questions. Thanks and KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BRUDDAH!

For me, it was the old Odissey movie. I loved it, and eventualy got a version of the book. After that, I started to collect mythology books in general.
