He lived in [[place::Iolkos]] which was ruled by [[character::Pelias]]. Pelias (Aison&#039;s brother) received a prophesy to beware a one sandalled man who will murder him. Pelias noticed that Jason had one sandal when he asked him to help him with a sacrifice to [[character::Poseidon]] Jason said that such a person should retrieve the Golden Fleece. That is what Pelias told him to do not expecting to see him again.<br /> [[File:jason_map.jpg|Jason and the Argonauts&#039; Voyage|thumb]]<br /> The tale of Jason is recounted by [[author::Pindar]], [[author::Diodoros]], [[author::Ovid]] but the best known is by [[author::Apollonios Rhodios]], a librarian from BCE 261 and writes about a hero very different than those written by [[author::Homer]]<br /> <br /> Jason first task is to ask [[character::Argos]] son of [[character::Phrixos]] to build a 50 oared ship, which had a speaking timber from the oak of Dodona installed by [[character::Athena]]. The fifty crew assembled are the greatest heroes of their time.<br /> <br /> Jason is very good looking but his qualities of heroism take a while to come to fruition and he fails to command the respect of his crew at the beginning.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;the young heroes turned their eyes towards [[character::Herakles]] sitting in their midst, ans with one shout they all enjoined upon him to be their leader&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> Herakles refuses but leaves the impression that Jason is their only only becuase Herakles turns them down. Jason is an hellestic hero and his [[Arete|arete]] is seen as his increasing effectiveness.<br /> Click [[Jason and the Argonauts|here]] to read more</div>
