083 The Quest for the Golden Fleece- Taking the Long Way Back

It should have not taken long to return back Iolcus with the Fleece, but like the Griswold family on vacation, a fairly straightforward journey becomes a long one because of side adventures and fate blowing a raspberry in their faces. Also it didn't help that Medea committed fratricide because the god's don't take to kindly to that behavior. Zeus decided to punish the Argo with a storm that would dwarf the tempests of Jupiter! (Get it? Jupiter is the Latin name for Zeus, god I'm clever)


"You know Medea, I got a bad feeling after you killed your brother"
"I'm sure it's nothing Jason, say what's that ominous black cloud out on the horizon? Is it getting closer?" 

082 The Quest for the Golden Fleece- Taking the Fleece and getting the Girl

In their quest to find the Golden Fleece, Jason and his heroic crew repopulated an island where the women killed all their males, met the king of the Dolionians, killed a tribe of giants, lost Heracles, killed the king of the Dolionians, killed another king in a boxing bout, saved King Phineas from Harpies, and crossed the Clashing Rocks. After a few other stops along the way, (including losing the seer Idmon to a boar in Bithynia) they reached Colchis.

Damn that's a tiny dolphin

081 The Quest for the Golden Fleece- The Birdhags of Salmydessus and the Clashing Rocks

The Argonauts met women who killed all their male relatives in one island, a kind king, and killer giants from Bear Mountain.

 They lost their greatest hero, Heracles, because his servant Hylas was abducted by Naiads. Driven mad with grief, Heracles continued to search in vain. The rest of the Argonauts made the decision to leave without him.

Back at sea, recovering from accidently murdering the king of the Doliones. They gave him a funeral, but they did not stay long. This is where we left off.

 

"Are we ther-"

"No Castor! Stop trying to be like Heracles, he's gone!"

         Welcome back to Moments in Greek Mythology and welcome to part 3 of The Quest for the Golden Fleece miniseries! Three parts in and now we finally get to see the Argo makes its maiden voyage out to the Aegean. Will there be adventure and sex in this blog? The answer is most definitely yes, but with that aside let's get started.

"Are we there yet?" 

"No"

"How bout now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"Heracles, I swear to god, I will throw you off this boat if you keep doing this!"
