Jason
This article is concerned with the Greek legend shape. Other meanings see Jason (term clarifying).
Jason (Greek Iason) is a hero shape from that Greek legend. It pulled with its companions, that Argonauten, out, around that Golden fleece out Kolchis to rob on the east bank of the black sea. It succeeded to it with the help of the kolchischen king daughter Medeia, which it took with itself. The return attributed it to (accepted at that time) the ship route Danube upward north around Italy. Iasons Hope, to mount as wages for the golden fleece the throne in Iolkos, did not fulfill itself. It had after Korinth go, and recruited there over Glauke, the daughter of the king Kreon. From jealousy Medeia killed both Glauke and Kreon and its children of Iason. In its despair it took itself thereupon even the life.
The modern historical research assumes that, that it itself with that Argonautensage around a true, historical expedition acted, those Apollonios of Rhodos literarily worked on. Thus Jason would be an antique Sailor and Discoverer.
