Jason was a legendary figure in Greek mythology best known for being the leader of a group of heroes called the Argonauts.
Biography
At one point, Jason was sent by King Pelias to retrieve an object called the Golden Fleece, a mythical object of great power; in reality, it was a Piece of Eden known as the Shroud. Through the Shroud, he came into contact with Consus, a member of the First Civilization.[1][2] The adventuring group, named the Argonauts – after their ship the Argo – were assisted by the sorceress Medea.[3]
Telamon, the father of the legendary hero Ajax, joined Jason on his journey to retrieve the Golden Fleece, as well as to kill the Kalydonian Boar. [citation needed]
In time, Jason married Medea, who bore him two sons, Mermeros and Pheres. However, when Jason left them to court the daughter of King of Korinthia, Glauke, Medea assassinated her rival with a poisoned cape, which drove the young princess to throw herself into a fountain in Korinth, named after her.[4] In another account, it was a poisoned dress that set Glauke aflame. Afterwards Medea killed her and Jason's children.[3]
Years later, Jason was killed in his sleep outside a temple when the rotting stern of the Argo's remains fell off and crushed him.
Legacy
During the 5th century BCE an armor chest-piece known as Jason's Golden Fleece was attributed to him. Sometime during the Peloponnesian War it was found by the Spartan misthios Kassandra. Around the same time, she also acquired a hammer that was said to have once belonged to Jason.[5] Kassandra also visited the wreck of the Argo, commenting about Jason leaving it in Korinthia.[6] Jason and Medea's story was retold in Euripides' tragedy Medea.[3]
