With the help of Ariadne, the lovely daughter of King Minos, Theseus not only killed Minotaur but went out of the labyrinth as well.

  38. Jason bringing Pelias the Golden Fleece

  39. Gist of the Story • In Greek mythology, the Golden Fleece is the fleece of the gold-haired winged ram. It figures in the tale of Jason and his band of Argonauts, who set out on a quest by order of King Pelias for the fleece in order to place Jason rightfully on the throne of Iolcus in Thessaly.

  40. Jason was helped by all the celebrated heroes of the past, including Orpheus and Hercules. These heroes, fifty in number, were called the Argonauts, because they sailed with Jason in the ship Argo. After many adventures they reached the land of the fleece. • Jason asked the King for the Golden Fleece. The King did not refuse, but imposed some conditions that Jason had to yoke a pair of fire-breathing bulls with brass feet, and use them to plough a field which he would then sow with dragon’s teeth.

  41. Everyone knew that these teeth would immediately grow into warriors that would turn on whoever seeded them. So there was a dual challenge, a triple one if one includes the guardian dragon. • Jason had attracted the attention of Medea, the daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis, who was a mighty sorceress. She helped him by magic, having made him promise to marry her and take her to Greece.

  42. With the help of her magic, he was able to tame the bulls and plough the field. When the dragon’s teeth grew into hostile warriors, he threw a magic stone among them, so that they turned against each other and fought until they were all dead. Then Medea fed the dragon a sleeping potion so that Jason could retrieve the treasured prize.

  43. Being pursued by Medea’s father and his followers, the heroes fled in the Argo and sailed onward. They kept following the coast-line, until at length they encircled the world, that is, the world of Europe as the ancients knew it, and in this manner got back to Greece, having been the first men to see all the wonders of the world.

  44. The later fate of both Jason and Medea was tragic. He deserted her, and she in revenge slew their children. Then, according to one form of the story, she persuaded him to sleep under the shade of the old, rotting hull of the Argo, so that its timbers fell on him, and the ship which had been his glory caused his death.

  45. Questions • Why did Jason go on a quest for the golden fleece? • How to define the Argonauts, who were they (please name at least three of them)? • Who did help Jason to succeed in getting the golden fleece after he arrived Colchis? • Whatwas Medea famed for?

  46. Questions • How did Jason be able to tame the fire-breathing bulls? • How many tasks did Jason have to fulfill? Describe each briefly.
