Read the excerpt from "jason and the golden fleece."
then he cocked his head and said, “and i can see that you will be an even greater king than your father.”
“i would do anything for the glory of the kingdom and my father’s house,” said jason.
“anything? ” asked pelias casually.
“anything! ” jason affirmed eagerly.
“would you, indeed? ” said pelias. his eyes narrowed. “in the kingdom of colchis, there is a golden ram’s fleece that rightfully belongs to us. go and fetch it. it should not be too great a task for a bold young hero like you. and when you return, you shall marry one of my daughters, and i will make you king of iolcos.”
all the court gasped. for they understood, as did jason, that to go on such a quest meant almost certain doom, as the golden fleece, which lay far beyond the uncharted seas, was guarded by terrible monsters and kept by a powerful king.
