    The story of Jason and the Argonauts is part of the wider and bigger collection of detailed and complex stories that tell a multigenerational epic of ancient Greek myths, of which the Iliad and Odyssey are only part. Many of the fathers of the Greek heros who fought at Troy had sailed on the Argo as young men; including one Greek character in the Iliad, an old man who is constantly going on about how, "if you only could have seen me in my younger days!"

    Colchis (modern day Georgia) was a producer of gold in antiquity. The miners would dredge sheep fleeces through muddy riverbeds rinse out the mud and the gold specs would become visible. These legends were contrived to illustrate to the bronze age listener the world around him.

      Only the 1200BC Sea Peoples displaced them, and in the 1800sAD they were STILL DEPICTED AS NEGROIDS(old encyclopdia; "Races of Mankind")...
      As dark as a "coal"chian, or the mineral "jet"(which they mined and exported), are foreign references to their racial skintone! :o

When I and my classmates were learning about the first scene of the play, Act 1 Scene 1, the story of Jason and his Argonauts was mentioned. We studied it in great detail for 2 weeks. We are currently reading Act 1 Scene 2.
    This will help me learn the story of him and his Argonauts again (but in even more detail).

    Greeks, been merchants, were looking for trade and valuable materials all over the world. Once successful, wanted to announce to the world their success but without revealing details of the whereabouts and the greatness of the quantities of the discovered goods. Meanwhile, unbeatable monsters protected the goods, tamed only by the discovery man. Other merchants could profit from these goods once the information in public. So, what we actually have here, is a Greek expedition that was successful and brought gold from Georgia to Greece. All the rest is sauce and salad.

    Regarding 22:42, Circe was a sister of Aeëtes the King of Colchis. Circe and Aeëtes had another sister named Pasiphaë who married Minos the King of Crete. Minos was a son of Europa and Zeus. Pasiphaë became the mother of the Minotaur, because she consummated her lust for the Cretan Bull. Theseus from Athens killed the Minotaur with the help of Ariadne who was the daughter of Pasiphaë and Minos. In Athens, Medea married Aegeus who was Theseus' father. Medea and Aegeus had a son named Medus who was half-brother to Theseus. Theseus exiled Medea and Medus from Athens. Medea and Medus returned to Colchis where her father had been usurped as king by his brother Perses. Medea killed her uncle Perses and restored her father Aeëtes as King of Colchis. After Aeëtes died, his grandson Medus became King of Colchis.

    =)) The mercantile spirit of ancient and actual greeks is carved even into their stories =)). In fact in this tale is a huge mistification, possible encouraged by gold merchants. In ancient times the only region that gold could be harvested by river-exploatation was on Aries River, Western Carpathians. In fact, is used even today. One of my friends married with a wedding ring forged by her father using gold harvested by diving a sheep skin into the river. Even the "Dragon" match the local totems. But is fun to see (most of) all people in awe with the story =))

      Interesting comment! I think you're right about the mercantile tradition of the ancient Greeks, or at least the elites, as that explains their interest in long voyages, and tradition of ship-building and navigation. Also, it should be noted that the heros of these stories were not normal local people but wealthy men, typically sons of local kings. These 'Greek' kings had most likely established themselves as rulers over the local people, not as a result of being tribal chieftains, but maybe rather as outsiders due to their wealth, political connections and knowledge from their long-distance trading, and associated need to control coastal lands and groups of men for security.
      Of course, they weren't 'Greek' in those days, but Hellenic. This is about 2000BC, long before the Greek identity arose. The 'Greek' legends even pre-date the ancient Myceneans who later gave rise to the classical Greeks. The legends were quite probably even located somewhere else than the Mediterranean as it is known that the Myceneans came from elsewhere. One major possibility is northern Europe, around the Baltic Sea, which was much warmer in the Bronze Ages and has a lot of connections to these Greek myths, such as the common use of 'Ae' and 'Hell' in names (eg. Helsinki and Hellespont, an old name for the Gulf of Finland), and many other connections. See the amazing book, "The Baltic Origins of Homer's Epic Tales."
      I understood that Jason probably sailed up the river Oxus into Central Asia (now the Amu Darya river). There are also traditions of filtering river water for gold in Uzbekistan, which have been might be the location of the original Golden Fleece.

      If you find gold in Carpathians you will be interested to spread the rumor that you found it in Caucasus, don't you? Btw, ancient merchant ties are linking north/baltic zone with thraco/dacian areal, not with "hellenic" space. pls, do a bit of effort and search. best wishes and health!

    Pretty interesting, this story I believe was referenced in “the war with Mexico reviewed” by Abiel Livermore 1850 , that said Americas early martial spirit or military spirit especially in result of the Mexican American war, the ambition to expand was quote “ to sow the land with dragons teeth, and eventually they will spring up armed men” which in regards to the many Greek and Roman references in that book, it is likely this is the reference he was making towards. Recommend anyone to read it, a lot of good antiquity history and references to war, Christian principles, and anti war sentiment. Quick read too, it should be on the library of congress website online.
