Golden Fleece

Greek hero,
Jason.
Who Was Jason in Greek Mythology?
4. Jason was a character in Greek mythology who went on a
quest with some of the mightiest heroes of his time, and it
became one of the most famous stories in mythology. Their
mission was to retrieve a golden fleece from the King Aeetes of
Colchis.
5. Exposition
in another part of Greece, a king named Pelias has
stolen the crown from his brother. An oracle tells him that
he will die at the hands of a kinsman and that he should
be wary of a man wearing only one sandal. One day, a
man wearing one sandal comes to town.. This is Jason,
the king's nephew, come to claim his rightful place as
king.
6. Conflict
Pelias tells Jason that he would give up the throne if
Jason would go out and retrieve the golden fleece.
Jason sets off and overcomes many obstacles and
adventures on the way to Colchis. Finally, with the help
of Hera, he reaches King Etes.
7. Rising Action
Hera and Aphrodite arrange for Cupid to make King
Etes's daughter, Medea, fall in love with Jason.
Jason asks Etes for the fleece, but Etes says Jason
must plow a field of dragon's teeth, which will spring
up into a crop of armed men who must be cut down
as they advance and attack.
8. Climax
Jason agrees, though he believes the task will result
in his death. Thanks to Cupid's bow, however,
Medea gives Jason a magical potion that gives give
him invincibility for one day. She also tells him to
throw a rock into the middle of the army because it
will lead the armed men to kill each other. The next
day, Jason proves victorious.
9. Falling Action
The treacherous king will not give him the fleece,
however. He plans to kill Jason. Medea helps him
again. She leads him to the fleece, charms the
serpent guarding it, and flees with Jason back
home.
10. Resolution/Denouement
On the journey home, Medea kills her brother in the
idea that she is protecting Jason. This is the first sign of
her madness. When they return to Greece, she
arranges for King Pelias to be killed by his own
daughters, which fulfills the oracle. Later, Jason marries
another woman, and Medea becomes so angry that she
kills both the bride and her own two sons fathered by
Jason.
