The Argo, that is why is crew were called the Argonauts
Heroes who came in search of the Golden Fleece: Jason, Hercules, Theseus, Atalanta among others... As a group called the Argonauts from the name of their ship Argo
Hunting the Calydonian boar, holding the fatal footrace for her suitors, and (in some versions) joining Jason and the Argonauts on the quest for the golden fleece.
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)]
Her name was Medea, but she was can not be considered Greek. She was from the area of the Black Sea near Ukraine. There were some Greek colonies at one point or another in the Ukraine because Ukraine was rich in iron. In the tragedy of Medea, it is clearly stated that Jason and the people of his city do not consider Medea Greek.
In Greek mythology, the Argonauts were a band of heroes who, in the years before the Trojan War, accompanied Jason to Colchis (modern day Georgia) in his quest to find the Golden Fleece. Their name comes from their ship, the Argo, which was named after its builder, Argus. "Argonauts", therefore, literally means "Argo sailors". They were sometimes called Minyans, after a prehistoric tribe of the area.

The Argo was the ship sailed by Jason and the Argonauts to obtain the Golden Fleece. It was built by Argus and named after him.
The princess was called Medea.
Jason met the ferocious son of Poseidon the Cyclop (don't remember the name)
His name is Jason, nothing else. ---- The Greeks didn't have patronymics like we do. Only a few characters in mythology have a last name, and they're usually the sons of Zeus, Poseidon or Apollo.
In Greek mythology, there is a ram with a golden fleece known as the Golden Fleece. It is not associated with goats.
