086 Castor and Pollux vs the Twins of Thebes

Moving on from the story of the Golden Fleece, let's look at what happened to two of the Argonauts after the great adventure. Like Animal House, Greek Mythology had a tendency to do a little "Where are they now?" type myth.

After their Bogus journey with Jason, Castor and Pollux returned to their homes, but soon they had to save their sister Helen. Helen of course would be famed for being the "Face that launched a thousand ships" in the Trojan Cycle, but like Princess Peach, she had been captured before by a familiar face.


Damn it you Minotaur slaying son of a bitch, get your hands off our sister!

085 The Quest for the Golden Fleece- Jason Screws Up and Medea goes Crazy

And now for the very depressing end to our hero Jason and his wife Medea that would make the life of DCAU Mr.Freeze seem peachy keen! In a aversion to the classic trope of Finders Rulers, when Jason killed his evil uncle Scar, I mean Pelias, Jason didn't just magically become the king of Ioclus. Instead Jason and Medea were driven away by Pelias' son Acastus who became the new king.


So what's her name and when are you leaving me for her?

084 The Quest for the Golden Fleece- Jason returns and Pelias' daughters are morons

King Pelias was quite shocked to find that  Jason was returning alive with the Golden Fleece as I was shocked when Bruce Willis was actually a ghost the whole time. (What a Twist!!) Hell, he thought the Argo had sunk and told Jason's imprisoned parents that his son had failed and was dead. Instead of holding to hope like Penelope from the Odyssey, they folded like Padme from Star Wars and decided to chug down the poison. (Glad my parents would never act that way)


You have no idea what crap I went through to get this.
