Who were the argonauts?
Jason was one of the heroes of Greek mythology, son of Aeson, married to Medea, leader of the Argonauts, a band of heroes famous for their quest to find the Golden Fleece in Colchis (now Georgia).Their name Argonauts - that in Greek means 'sailors of Argo'- comes from their ship, the Argo, which took its name by its builder, Argus.[in Greek: Αργοναύτες pronounced: Arghonaftes (naftes=sailors)]
Why was Jason a hero?
He and his Argonauts recovered the Golden Fleece from Colchis and brought it back to king Pelias in the city of Iolcus (with a lot of help from Medea, a Colchian princess who had fallen in love with Jason).
Who took Jason memory?
In Greek mythology, it was Medea who used her powers as a sorceress to make Jason forget his past adventures with the Argonauts. She did this to help him start a new life with her after they fled from Corinth.
How did Jason and crew help phineus?
They rescued him from the Harpies, who were torturing Phineus. Two of the Argonauts, the winged sons of Boreas, Zetes and Calais, flew at the Harpies from above, terrifying them, and chased them all the way to the Strophades, freeing Phineus from their torture.
In 'Jason and the Argonauts' why was the blind man tormented by harpies?
Because he disobeyed the Gods and Goddesses and did what they hated. He was forced to live on an island full of harpies and live forever, but it was his own fault Zeus did this, not because he was evil, or mean, because the blind man was disobeying them and talking rude things about them. He even yells at them, he was also sent there to tell everything he knew to Jason, that would help him rach his destination. (the golden fleece.)
What was Jason's power in Jason and the Argonauts?
To be completely honest, Jason had no skills whatsoever, other than seducing women. In fact, his ability to sweet-talk members of the female gender proved to be his only real contribution to the quest of the Argo. And half the time, he needed help from Cupid. It's quite sad.He was able to bring together an ensemble of heroes with special skills that he was able to make use of when the situation demanded. Today, we would say that he had management or leadership skills.
