Question

i dont want a summary. i need to know what symbols. i already know his story!!!

Answer 1

Jason in Greek mythology was the son of Aeson. When Pelias usurped the throne Iolcus and killed (imprisoned) Aeson and most of his descendents, Jason was smuggled out to the Centaur Chiron, who raised him secretly on Mt. Pelion. Later through out the yrs. Pelias promised Jason, that if he captured the "Golden Fleece" to Boeotia and would bring the Fleece to him that in return Pelias would give Jason his "rightful throne". Jason then gathered the most strongest men and "sailors" to assist him on his journey. He called them the "Argonauts" and had a magnificient ship called "Argo". During their long journey they became influenced by beautiful women, attacked by warriors,buffeted by terrible storms and challenged by hideous monsters. Now in some stories Jason was assisted by Hera,wife of Zeus. Zeus became outraged with jeolousy and did everything in his power to stop Jason from finding the "golden fleece". There are many stories about Jason, another was that Hercules was one of the original Argonauts, and became good friends with Jason. Jason is noted for the "Golden Fleece" and his ship "Argo" and his men the "Argonauts". The blindman "Phineus" that showed Jason the way to Colchis to find the fleece. Hope this has helped.

Answer 2

Jason
by James Hunter
Jason, the son of Aeson, was the leader of the Argonauts and the husband of Medea. Because of a prophecy that Jason would someday do him harm, King Pelias of Iolcos sent Jason on a seemingly impossible quest to bring the Golden Fleece back from distant Colchis. For the quest, Jason assembled a crew of heroes from all over Greece; Argos built for the heroes the largest ship ever constructed, the Argo.

Jason

On the voyage to Colchis, in addition to other adventures, Jason and his crew of Argonauts became the first humans to pass through the Symplegades (the Clashing Rocks); they also freed Phineus from the curse of the Harpies. When they arrived at Colchis, King Aeetes demanded that Jason accomplish a series of tasks to get the Golden Fleece: he must yoke a team of fierce, fire-breathing oxen and plow a field with them; then he must sow the teeth of a dragon in the field, and deal with the warlike armored men who sprouted from these "seeds"; finally, he must brave the sleepless dragon who guarded the Fleece. Jason accomplished all these tasks with the help of Medea, Aeetes' daughter, who had fallen in love with him. After obtaining the Golden Fleece, Jason and Medea fled from Colchis, pursued by King Aeetes' men.

On their voyage back to Iolcos, they encountered the perils of Scylla and Charybdis and the isle of the Sirens as well as Talos the bronze guardian of Crete. In Iolcos, Medea contrived the murder of King Pelias, after which she and Jason fled to Corinth. In Corinth, after many years of marriage, Jason finally deserted Medea to marry King Creon's daughter; Medea wreaked a terrible vengeance, killing the bride and Creon, and even murdering her own children. She then escaped, leaving Jason to mourn his losses. Jason was killed years later when he was struck on the head by a timber from the Argo.

Answer 3

The symbol is the Golden Fleece. IMHO, he represents what an obsession can do to a body of men--heroes all.
