Jason was the rightful heir to the throne of Iolcus, but his uncle Pelias seized power and imprisoned Jason's father. When Jason grew up, Pelias agreed to relinquish the throne if Jason retrieved the Golden Fleece from the faraway land of Colchis. Jason assembled a crew called the Argonauts and sailed on the Argo, facing many dangers along the way. In Colchis, Jason fell in love with Medea who helped him defeat challenges and retrieve the Fleece, but they were forced to flee due to Medea's betrayal of her father the king. Back in Iolcus, Medea tricked Pelias' daughters into killing their father, so Jason and Medea left

1. Jason and the Argonauts
Piqria
Sandodze

4. Not long Jason was born, his greedy uncle named
Pelias seized the throne from Jason’s father , aeson
, pelias’s half-brother to a mortal father he threw
former king aeson in prison

5. When the aeson’s wife gave birth to Jason – the rightful
heir to the throne – she worried that pelias might kill him
and decided to hide the baby

7. and when Jason was full grow, he went back to Iolcus to
confront his uncle . pelias was warned , “beware of a stranger
with only one sandal”

8. On Jason’s way to Iolcus
He helped a woman across a
stream.
She turned out to be Hera in
disguise .
He lost a sandal helping the
goddess.
Hera wanted the sorceress Medea
brought from the far-away land of
Colchis to get revenge on King Pelias
for not worshiping her.
She used her power to help protect
Jason on his journey for the fleece .

9. To Jason’s surprise , Uncle pelias
agreed to give up the kingdom if
Jason would do just one little
thing : capture a golden fleece -
the skin of a magical ram – from
the kingdom of Colchis , a land at
the very farthest reaches of the
known world.

10. Impossible?
Maybe. But
buoyed by
youthful
confidence and
the spirit of
adventure,
Jason accepted
the challenge.

11. pelias was adamant that
Jason would never return
to Iolcus alive . But Jason
knew that with
perseverance , sagacity , a
team of talented helpers ,
the best tools and
equipment , and a bit of
good fortune ( or help
from some friendly Greek
gods ) the impossible
might just be possible ..

12. So Jason sent out a call to
anyone game for adventure,
and the bravest and most
talented men and women in all
of Greece – including the
strong man Hercules –
answered his call

13. Together they sailed off in a
mighty ship called Argo, the
biggest and best boat the
Greeks had ever sailed

14. The crew members
were called
Argonauts, in honor
of the boat.

15. They sailed to the ends of the
known world to reach the
kingdom of Colchis.

16. On their long journey, Jason
and the Argonauts made many
discoveries and faced many
dangers.

17. all their obstacles
1.Phineus and the harpies .
2.The symplegades – clashing rocks
3.The woman of lemnos
4.Yoke fire-breathing bulls
Sew the dragon’s teeth and fight the army of the
dead
5.Defeat a seven-hundred hydra
6.Talos the giant

18. Phineas and the Harpies
Gods made Phineas choose to live long blind, or short life with sight.
Phineas choose long life blind. The angered Helios who sent in the Harpies.

19. Isle of lemnos
Controlled by woman, who killed their
husbands.
Jason landed and all of his men including him
were almost sacrificed
Hercules pressured the men into leaving

20. The Sympledges (clashing rocks)
Released a dove to see if it could make
it through.
When the dove made it through he told
the Argonauts to row with all their
might.
The ago made it through with minor
damages.
Sympledges never moved again

21. Having defeated the harpies,
the clashing rocks, woman of
lemnos, talus, they arrive at
Colchis, land of golden Fleece.
King aietes did not want to
give up the fleece. And so he
thought of two impossible
task for the Argonauts to
perform : yoke fire-breathing
bulls and sew the dragon’s
teeth.

22. King aietes of Colchis had a daughter
named Medea. Medea feel in love with
Jason and give him secrets to yoke the
bulls and defeat the army of the dead
that spring from the dragon’s teeth.

23. actually Medea was
struck by ero’s was sent
by Aphrodite, who was
influenced by Hera

24. with Medea’s help , Jason
wins the ram. Her father
discovers her treachery and
Medea sails off with Jason to
become his wife.

25. • the gateway
• Jason and Medea have to flee to get away for king aietes with the
fleece
• -as a diversion Medea kills her brother and throws pieces of him into
the sea so her father has to pick them up

26. Jason returned to Iolcus to save his father – and to tell tales of world
beyond Greece that few had dared to explore.

27. • Jason’s return
• Pelias would not give up the throne
• Medea sagaciously convinced pelias’s
daughters that her magic could make
pelias young again
• They chopped him up and put him in a
cauldron as instructed.
• Medea said “fooled you,” and walked
away

28. • Instead of being declared king,
the people of Iolcus were angry
at Medea for practicing sorcery
on their king , even if they did
not like him
• They were chased off the land
and floated to Corinth.

29. Thanks
