Jason and The Golden Fleece

In class, we watched a documentary about the Greek myth, "Jason and The Golden Fleece."
In the beginning, Jason was the son of the king of Iolcus. But Jason's uncle Pelias stole the throne. jason is then offered a task which if he passes, he will be rewarded the throne. The task was chosen because no mortal except the gods can succeed. But Pelias didn't know that Jason had Hera on his side. Jason faced many dangers like the clashing rocks.

When Jason reached Colchis, He met king Aeetes. His daughter Madea was a sorcerer that soon fell in love with Jason. Because of love, Madea did not hesitate to betray her father by helping Jason. But in return Jason Promised to take her with him and make her his queen.
