Your videos arent long enough. They are beautiful. Thank you.
Very long overdue . thank you i love the channel and look forward to your next video
Crew: We vote Heracles be the captain
Heracles: My first order as captain is that Jason is captain
Arctic Dino that is very funny lol
*Happy Jason Noises*
Me in group projects lol
Isn't that wisdom, thank you guys for recognizing me, and I recognize him

Jason: makes endless stupid decisions
Basically, Jason is like a player thrown in an open-world game: always doing side quests when he could have finished the main story in a quarter of the time.
Just like Odysseus
And learning new spells and Dragon Shouts while dungeon crawling, and collecting things he probably won't use anyway.
and the devs are giving him secret
buffs
Lol I be doing everything thing but the main quest
I love greek mythology because of all the side quests without the side quests the main story wouldn't be as great as it is.
How to survive a quest: Stop making random stops on strange and unknown islands!!!
Don’t they have to restock water, food, and other supplies they might be able to store? Sailing back then must of been.....hardcore to say the least.
K. T. The story’s are 1000s of years old. They could have just said he was a good fisher or they brought a ton of bulls or something. I think the people who original wrote Jason’s story wanted to make it longer for more add revenue.
Think about it, an island with thousands of women who haven't had a man in years. No men on the island, just you, your 20 buddies, and 10,000 horny women.... who smell like cat shit.
@@BrettonFerguson 20-30 crewmen
K. T. Stop at known islands
What I love about greek mythology is the fact that literally everyone is kind of a prick in their own right; the heros, the gods, the love interests, the secondary characters hell even the bystanders...
Yeah nearly everyone actually has a balanced and a more natural human personality meaning they can behave or have both good or bad intentions depending on time or place. Unlike other myths from other countries which have basically a glorified hero and an evil character,monster etc. I love and enjoy these myths too but i prefer the greek ones any day !! Probably im kind of biased since im Greek myself!
The same is true about Greek history, ancient and modern!
Uhhhh that’s how we all are over time roughly speaking -
@@karamlevi
ahahahha so true
I was a child in Egypt in the 1980’s and the 1960’s Jason and the Argonauts movies along with Clash of the Titans were my introduction to Greek mythology. They still have a very special place in my heart.
I could not stop thinking about the fact of how easy or easier this quest would of been if they had Hercules the entire time
They did.
@@WeirdTale They did not
Would have
They did in the movies though.
IIRC, it was stated that Hercules would make their troubles seem trivial.
The best storytellers have always been the Greeks, who really believed in what they wrote.

Percy Jackson and the olympians got me into mythology as a kid. I thought I was a demigod 😂
@Giovanni Carbajal samee 😂
You’re not a demigod, but you’re the leader of team rocket and the normal/ground gym leader which is better if you ask me
Me too but I've always been Into greek, norse, and Egyptian mythology. Sprinkle in some Japanese lore and that's my historical interests
Me to
Percy Jackson got me into it as well after that I desired to learn as much about myths as possible. It went from Greek to to Egypt to Chinese then to Japanese, after that Native American and it continued from there where I’d want to know as much of the unknown as possible. However the VERY first myth that sparked this interest in myth was the Legend of Hercules & 12 Labors, a tale of a hero who used his strength & cunning to complete tasks that are believed to be so impossible no ordinary man could succeed.
What. The. Hell. Hera did something legitimately _nice_ for someone. Hold on, I need to go check if there's pigs flying outside.
Oh crap i think its gonna eat me
Oh Gods call the Automatons
@@comradekenobi6908 Gotta get Hephaestus to make some first, ones that can take care of them.
You know it helps that jason isn't a son of zeus, so she doesn't have a murder boner for someone made from zeus' boner
And the three (Hera and Aphrodite with ATHENA) worked TOGETHER to help Jason..... Wow
I had no idea the crew was this stacked!! I really thought it was just a bunch of soldiers/sailors. Good to know my girl Atalanta was part of the crew. 🏹🍎
It depends, in some versions he tells her she can't come because she's a woman. But all versions are equally canon, so go with the version you like best. About the only consistent crew members between versions is Heracles and Orpheus.
@@shadenox8164 Cringe. No wonder why Jason failed in the end.
Yes! I watched the same Jason and the Argonauts in the early 90s too! My mom taped it on VHS for us.
Yup. I watched it early 90s also. Seems like thats when a lot of kids watched it. Probably because it was a favorite of their parents who shared it with their kids. Often having recorded it off tv onto VHS.
I hope you like my many great journey for the search of the golden fleece.
It seems like 90% of us who watched that as kids watched it on a VHS thst our parents recorded for us 🤣🤣🤣
I have watched also the 2000 version movie
Heracles was the True Veteran and Hero being through a helluva lot and learning from past terrible mistakes.
That intro sequence gives me chills every time.
Same with me
Jason: goes on an epic quest, kills five kings, gains the favor of then instantly betrays the entire Greek pantheon, becomes a king, loses his title of king, gets the title of king back, then dies sad and alone
M&FE: "lol mood"
Dude, my grandmother introduced me to this movie, to clash of the titans to Alfred Hitchcock, twilight zone etc. It has always gave me a spark for histroy, mythology, sci fi and fantasy. A great video, with great information!
Heracles was too op so the Gods had to take him out of the story themselves
Basically his time with the Argo is his sidequest. Also props for good ol' Herc to not hog all the glory, because he was only there to help Jason. When you think about it, Jason already struck gold the moment Heracles became one with the crew. Not to mention, even if by sheer reluctance, Atalanta.
@@jack-exzolt9858 Jason's biggest mistake in his entire life, was not turning the ship around and putting everything he and his crew had into finding Heracles. Gods be damned.
@@concept5631 Nah... I beg to differ.
Him cheating on Medea because their children were deemed illegitimate was his biggest fumble.
When I was in 2nd grade, we had a short time of learning about mythology and fables which was punctuated with a field trip to see a play about Jason and the Golden Fleece. I've been hooked on Mythology since then and your channel has been very satisfying.
This got me interested in mythology too.

lol this all it took?
The wendigo got me interested in mythology
This is the same story that started my obsession with Greek myths and legends. You did it justice and then some
Some people seem to be rather upset about me saying the island of Lemnos was in modern day Turkey, it is a Greek island that was under Roman and Ottoman rule that happens to be just outside the Anatolian peninsulas in the northern Aegean region but it has been reclaimed as a Greek island for well over a 100 years. I stand by my original statement however that the Lemnos Jason visited sucked.
*I* ❤ *you,* *Mythology* *and* *Fiction* *Explained*
One of the argonauts that all forget to add is Laertis father of odysseus
did women of lemnos remind anyone of feminists?
Bleilock1 no....
@@Bleilock1
Yup
What I've learned from the story of Jason and the Argonauts:
Lemnos sucks.
Alexander Blackmore more likely lemons 🍋
Especially when you are in the Greek military and get posted in the camp there! Every Greek man has to serve for 1 year at some point!
*Lemons
The island of Lemnos located in Turkey??? It is and has always been a GREEK island! Plus, in Jason's times the Turks were a nomadic people living on the Mongolian Altay plateau! What is now called Turkey was called back then Asia Minor!
Jason and the Argonauts was what got me into Mythology also. I loved that old movie. still do.
Cheers Narrator, Oh yes, the movie Jason and the Argonauts 1963, my favorite too and Bubo the owl, Athena, the old man, and terrific special effects, really great stories how the movie made.
Jason and the Argonauts sumed up in a video game format: the quest was level 50, Jason was level 20 at the beginning but his crew was all level 80.
Heracles?
He'd be around level ~80.
It was this, Clash of the Titans and the Sinbad films that got me into mythology
Achilles
Same, I think I were really young, primary school times, I saw the black and white movie on tv, 70's. I thought ...oh No!,those Gods, Jasons in trouble! . I learnt how to play chess because after that movie, a day at school with some class friends. What a buzz random share @youtube reccomenders xo
I just played god of war 1
Jack Callaghan God of war is one of my favourite game series.
I was born in 1984 in Yorkshire and I work with the Greek Deities. I also started to feel that love of them from the 1960's Jason and the argonauts film. It was so nice to hear someone say the same thing.
Jason’s story is most memorable for me because how much of a sissy he was the entire time, he was always on the backseats of important event and when matters are resolved it’s usually not because of his knowledge or decisiveness, but the spotlight is on other characters. If Chiron has to turn in his grave because of one of his students, that would be Jason.
1) Yeah, basically everything he "did" was actually with help of other people, he was only the one to execute the plan. Pathetic for a hero, indeed.
2) Chiron is immortal and can't die, Jason probably is just making him feel more pain than he would usually feel.
Haha, that last sentence made me smile. :)
@@devilbuster20xx37 can you name me some other of his students?
@@bombombarabom3794 Chiron's, Heracles to start, Achilles and Asclepius are some of them.

the crashing rocks with a dove flying ahead feels like an allegory for creating peace among two continuously feuding enemies. upon doing so they sneak away in the relative chaos of peace.
Almost forgot to leave a "like": watched the whole Novartis ad that immediately followed. Pretty good, since I've had heart issues....
The "Golden Book Encyclopedia" was my entry into mythology - and I still didn't get how much nobler Hector was than Achilles. Just a picture of a corpse being dragged around Troy.
The 1963 version of "Jason And the Argonauts" hooked me too. I watch it whenever I can. The Harryhausen effects never get old to me - especially since I learned how painstaking they were to accomplish.
I liked the 2003 version too - watched on UA-cam. A different telling; a different Jason - perhaps truer to the myth than its antecedent. More in line with your account. I liked the inclusion of Orpheus and the female who I don't think was Atalanta.
Subscribed approaching two years ago but haven't revisited in nearly a year. I learned about the Krampus from you. And this video, was amused to find Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite collaborating to help Jason. They're the trio that Paris was forced to judge resulting in the Trojan War. Still can't get over Athena stripping naked to impress a mortal....
So, congratulations on completing this video: sometimes it's hard to present the things dearest to us for fear of mishandling them. You did fine. Also, I'm glad to see your work prospering. Keep up the good work and don't let the myths obscure the Truth.
The Ray Harryhausen Jason And The Argonauts wasn't my introduction to mythology as a whole, but it was one of my earliest exposures to GREEK Mythology, so I'm in almost the exact same boat as you, my friend!
You missed a huge opportunity for a pun when you said “Lemnos sucks” instead of “Lemnos stinks.”
I don t get it
@@lordmoncef5494 the women of Lemnos were cursed to smell revolting
..also Lemnos is a Greek island now, not in Turkey... from a Greek...
I also grew up watching this, absolute classic adventure which sparked my interest in mythology
Wish i found your channel a month ago. I just finished reading/listening to the Argonautica and I got so lost so many times. I'm familiar with Greek myths but not with Greek epics, especially the writing style. But your video is currently helping me understand what I just read.
You are a gentleman and a scholar, my good sir.
Mythology always has me amazed
I love mythology, especially Greek mythology. The stories never seem to be just black and white there is usually a grey area in the middle. Heracles and Jason were the two stories that grabbed my interest for mythology when I was a kid.
We need an avengers style series of movies leading to this story?
Given that the Argonauts sound like they were the ye olde OG Avengers.
That would be metal
jason was a black man
no, we don't need any more Avengers stuff
@@Tordeques I'm pretty sure what OP means is a Greek Mythology Cinematic Universe which would be very cool
The helmsman Typhus died from illness? Hmmm. 🤔 Somehow I saw that coming
Wonder how stabus and car crashus died?
@@stickemuppunkitsthefunlovi4733 gunshot wound and drowning surprisingly
Hey friend! Nice work. My first call, came from the Odyssey, but I feel the argonauts are even more legendary... Now! Lemnos is at modern day Greece, not Turkey. And women smell nice there nowadays... The crew fell onto the seirenes too at some point, any they were saved by Orfeus' soothing song, which captivated them more than the seirenes. Orfeus was maybe even as legendary as Heracles at this quest, as he was the one who put, the golden fleece guarding dragon to sleep, again, with a song. Also, on the ship was Laertis too! Odysseus' father. You see, the argonauts, were a generation of heroes, before the Trojan war heroes! Heracles at one of his adventures, blessed baby Ajax with his lion skin, making him nearly invincible! Ajax of the Trojan war! This is what I find really wondrous and legendary in this story! The argonauts were GolDRoger, Whitebeard and Shanks to the Luffies of Troy! They were their fathers and inspiration! Keep living the Mythos people! Bye

Also, I dont know that I'd call Medea insane considering how many other Greek myths feature people doing similar bizarre murders. Plus the whole "Brainwashed into loving some guy because the gods felt like it" thing. She's a major victim in this story.
yeah, that was depressing and cruel
It's hard to feel bad for her after what she did though.
@@TheReasonableLiberal-hn2rs Except literally every action she took was under a magic love roofie. *shrug* but whatever, blame a victim.
@@pyrosianheir Wait what? I must've missed that part. Killing the king was one thing but her kids too? That one is hard to defend.
@@pyrosianheir There is a major difference between being under a LOVE spell, and cruelly MURDERING several people. I would not call latter as sane in ANY meter.
Also the spell was caused by Aphrodite, so her wrath should have been directed towards her, not toward various random people like a person Jason ended up falling for, or their own children.
There's also a big difference between understanding a victim and defending a mass murderer because some other person slipped them a "love roofie".
If you say that she e.g. wants to ruin Aphrodite and various other meddling gods after she found out, that I can understand. If you say she wants to murder several people because of something gods did to her - some of them children, my understanding ends there. She is no victim of those people, she is either evil or insane.
Argonauts: "Heracles should be our leader! He's already a hero!"
Heracles: "Nah, just in for the fun. Have Jason instead..."
My grandfather got me hooked on Jason and The Argonauts. Talos scared the crap out of me. Also the 7th voyage of Sinbad was epic. The cyclops are dope in that movie. The sound they make was terrifying.
How about a video on Medea? She is much more than just a helper-maiden in the Jason story. It is because of her magic (not blessing) that Jason accomplished the tasks. Medea drugged the dragon to sleep enabling Jason to secure the golden fleece. It was her cunning and initiative that resulted in Pelais' death, relieving Jason and his father of the responsibility. Then Jason drops her to marry Glacous (spelling? - daughter of the King of Corinth), and her terrible revenge takes effect. Her escape in a golden chariot supplied by Helios shows she is still in good standing with the gods. Breaking his vow with Medea makes him lose favor with Medea. Her story is highly complicated, and has many versions. I would love to see you unweave it. I don't think she is insane, but a leader.
Plus I mean Jason had the favour of both Hera AND Zeus and cocked it up along with pissing off his sorceress wife. Dude was an idiot.
Still watching this four years later. Honestly my favourite video you’ve ever done.
Still got a DVD copy of the movie. Never ceases to amaze me.
'The Immortals', which is an underrated movie imo - starring a pre 'Man Of Steel' Henry Cavill...was my introduction into Greek myths. 🎬
Wasn't very good, but had some great sequences
I watched the same movie at my grandparent’s house all of the time growing up!
I would like to start off by saying you are my most favourite history channel, your so clear and it's so easy to understand you, I love the art work you have and the music. Keep up the amazing work sir
Been waitnig for this man. I really wanted to hear the myth but never found a good full video on it. Your content is always consistent in its good quality or it improves and gets better so I know this too will be good. :)
When I need to come back to myself and find peace, I always come back to you and this channel! Thank you for your dedication to myths and legends. 💓
Funny enough, my love for mythology also started at my Nan and Grandads as well, but it was the strategy game Age of Mythology, still play it every now and then.
I remember the movie from 1963, that was one of my favorites movies an still is.
Amazing movie
The island of Lemnos is not in turkey, but in Greece
Also known as: "Γκασμαδιά Νήσος"!
Northern Greece to be exact.
All the island are hellenic and ionia also just occupied by turkey
All of turkey is Greek.
Every "impossible" challenge that "favors the person who set the challenge " always ends up being complete
Because those are the only ones who come back to tell the story
Exactly sir markalot. Haven't you watched Shrek? It's a must watch for any would be historian.
This video and the Hestia video got me excited for season 3 of danmachi.
I knew Jason should have hired a travel agent
🤣🤣😂😂
Thanks Again I now know The Story Of the Golden Fleece 👍🏻❤️
I remember seeing my dad watch the movie when I was a toddler and I watched it with him to his surprise. That movie got me interested in myth, history and acting
I actually hadn't seen JATA until after Clash of the Titans' 81 (well after it had been popular in syndication). Continues to fascinate me to this day.
What I love is that we still tell our children about this stories.

"Unaware of where these rocks came from, they fought amongst each other"
....Wut?
Yeah, apparently they were trained by the Three Stooges.
Also grew up in the 90s and also loved this film and story. 1997 Disney movie Hercules made mention of Jason and the Argonauts and I loved it. Got hugely into all kinds of mythology from the story and has become one of my biggest hobbies.
And Disney's Hercules also had a spinoff series with an episode featuring the Argonauts, with Jason voiced by William Shatner.
Everytime he kills another king I think of Jamie fookin’ Lannister
"Before Jason was Bourne..." WHAAAAAT?!? 😉
Lol 😁👌
Lol
*BRING OUT THE JAKAL!!!!!*
Mic drop comment.
No way! You grew up on several old classics too? Man, Jason and the Argonauts is a movie of my childhood too! I also love Clash of the Titans (the original from the 80s), that's the first movie that got me interested in Greek mythology. Jason and the Argonauts came in at close second. :) One of the most memorable parts of that movie is when the Argonauts finally get to Colchis, and they see Medea and her other priestesses dancing before the altar of Hecate. I love the music of that scene, and it makes me wish I could dance that gracefully. LOL I also remember the harpies scene, and it wasn't until many years later that I learned that the harpies are actually the sisters of Iris, which got me thinking, how the hell do you get the harpies and the beautiful goddess of the rainbow all as sisters? I guess that's Greek myth for ya. :P
I gotta say, at the end of listening to this video, I found myself somewhat melancholic. Jason wasn't the greatest guy, but I feel sorry for him. After all his great feats, he gets killed in such an anticlimactic way, and alone and lonely. I guess you can say he had it coming, to a degree, but still, kind of a tragic life. He goes to all these great lengths to accomplish things as a Greek hero, only to all have it fall apart, kind of a wasted and pathetic life, and that's very sad. I've read about The Divine Comedy and Dante places Jason in one of the circles of Hell reserved for seducers, since Jason seduced a few women on his way to getting the Golden Fleece, which I thought was pretty harsh. But hey, Dante is known for having hated all Greek heroes (especially the ones involved in the Trojan War), so that's probably the real reason why he put Jason in there. LOL
One of my favorite parts of the real myth of Jason is where they get past the sirens having Orpheus play his lyre to overpower their voices. I've seen that compared to Odysseus wanting to hear the sirens' song, and how well that worked out for him. I've seen this comparison of the two scenes as a way to warn against wanting to long for something that's not good for you. If you pine away for something that's bad for you, it will be hard for you to let it go so you can appreciate better things in life. But if you face that thing with something better, and the hope of better and healthier things, you will overcome that obstacle, as Orpheus' melody had overpowered the sirens. It's for this reason that Orpheus has held a special place in my heart for a long time now. :)
I loved this story when I was a child. It encouraged me to learn more regarding Mythology from across the World. The story of Jason and his endeavors was a tale of Trade. Greece opened up trade throughout the Mediterranean and eventually the Black Sea where the Caucasus tribes used sheep fleece to collect gold from the creeks and streams, learning how the use the plough and many elements of the story that was actually related to reality.
This channel is incredible. I enjoy learning from it. You provide amazing information, and the art is astounding!
This explains the entire story from the formation to the very end and how Medea was involved and everything in between. Amazing video I would say.
Finally someone I can relate too 🤣. Literally how I got into mythology thanks to Jason and the Argonauts.
Lemnos belong to Greece... w'been there, w'seen the Argonauts cave.
A Rams skin or fleece was used in a sluce to capture gold in the mining process.
The Golden Fleece
Hey hey, ever thought about covering the polynesian mythology? I think it is also pretty fascinating!
The game Rise of the Argonauts got me interested in this subject. You just filled in all the blanks. You answered all my questions. Thanks and KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BRUDDAH!
The tale of the ram with the golden fleece is a tale in and of itself, it would be a nice follow-up to this video, considering their connections.
Interestingly enough, one of the peoples in Irish mythology are believed to have actually had contact with the Greeks, in the worst way possible. The Fir Bolg, one of the people mentioned in Ireland's Book of Invasions (the collection of mythological stories about who came to settle Ireland) are believed to have spent several generations as slaves of the Greeks before returning Ireland with the sacks of fertile soil they spread bout the rocky lands of Ireland. From what I've gathered this mostly going on what little is said about the people that became the Fir Bolg and where they went when they left Ireland. But it's interesting to think that these peoples that were treated peripheries that barely got mentions in the stories might actually be major players in the mythology and lore of other nations. Just a little something to think about as the Feast of Saint Patrick approaches.
Omg I remember watching the Jason & the argonauts when me & my family would come over to our family farm each summer

Such a beautiful allegory, always git inspired as a kid by it! My favorite hero was Zetes who had the gift of excellent "vision", and could " navigate" the company during the fiercest adversities, by observing the stars even during broad daylight
Loses sandal helping Hera. Hera knows what’s up. Hera decides to giving him a god damn blessing instead of just buying him a new sandal. Classic.
Yes !! Ive been waiting for this one and been waiting for you to release another video. I must say im addicted to your channel. Well done and keep em comin
Funny how in Friday 13 we talk about jason XD
😂 I just peeped.
Outstanding lore! I'm so happy to be part of this mythology legend! 👍🏻
Jason: We have a quest!
Argonauts: Yay!
Jason: ... and we have eleventy two hundred side quests we can't skip.
Argonauts: Yay!
Jason: LOLWUT?
Heracles: Dude, it's called sarcasm. I know, it doesn't translate well via MMO chat.
Thanks for the refresh!! I read this a good 20 or more years ago, and I value it as one of the best stories ever told. I also liked your end summary (synopsis actually) very much, I pretty much feel the same way about it.
so basically Jason got his own version of the Avengers to help him in his quest.
I adore the Robert Graves book The Golden Fleece and this video is a wonderful glimpse back into the adventures! Thank you and well done!
How about Odysseus for your next vid? I would like to hear his whole life story too.
For me, it was the old Odissey movie. I loved it, and eventualy got a version of the book. After that, I started to collect mythology books in general.
Man this new intro looks amazing
OMG! I remember this movie. Those stop motion animation is awesome at the time. lol
Hell yeah i love that movie plus my other favorite they would also play was "Sinbad" the one with the battle against the skeleton Warriors 👍
Thank u! I love story time & u do an awesome job telling them. It was well worth the wait.
Hylas the 'squire' of Heracles

Love this channel. Obsessed with all the mythologies all over the world.
The most common account (the only one I have ever heard) tells that Atalanta drew first blood, and Meleager dealt the killing blow. The accounts of Homer, Hesiod, Apollodorus, Diodorus of Sicily, and Ovid all corroborate that. Where did you hear that Jason killed the Calydonian boar?
Great video, and the film recommendation was awesome too. I love your channel and the audiobook as well. I’m a huge fan of your work and would love to see you do a piece on Achilles.
So there's a good theory out there that says: that the tale of Jason and the Argonauts is a memory of the first greek settlers in the Black Sea around the Bronze Age, from the mycenaean period of Greece. Around 1300 BC or sometime before that date.
I absolutely LOVE this channel! Could you please do more Aztec Mythology?
