Golden fleeces and Jason

Golden fleeces and Jason Before embarking on the journeys of jason and the aurgonauts we should examine Jason a bit and get familiar with him prior to the tale, we will examine him as we did orpheus. here is one of the source material for the quest: http://www.in2greece.com/english/historymyth/mythology/names/jason.htm Jason Jason was the Hero who obtained the Golden Fleece from the Land of Colchis with the Argonauts. He was the son of king Aeson of Iolchos (Volos) whose brother Pelias had unrightfully overturned him and seized the throne. An oracle had told Pelias that a one-shoed man would revenge Aeson. In the tale we are about to embark on Hason was renowned as retriving the golden fleece that will now side route us into a quick examination of what the golden fleece is and were it came from. from :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Fleece Athamas the Minyan, a founder of Halos in Thessaly[2] but also king of the city of Orchomenus in Boeotia (a region of southeastern Greece), took as his first wife the cloud goddess Nephele. They had two children, the boy Phrixus (whose name means "curly"—as in ram's fleece) and the girl Helle. Later Athamas became enamored of and married Ino, the daughter of Cadmus. When Nephele left in anger, drought came upon the land so I will let you read up on it and continue tommorow
