Hey.
I'm Jason. I'm single and I love adventure.
That's it. We're done.
Welcome to my city, Iolcos!
Oh that? Yeah, I lost it helping a woman cross the river of Anaurus.
But you know, that doesn't really matter anyways, or at least it won't when I become king...
I mean, I'm kind of a big deal. I was in that
1963 film and you know that one TV show Atlantis.
What's up King Pelias?
Such a dirty fellow to set foot among my noble here
here in my court.
My oracle told me to watch out for kids like these.
How long have you been traveling without a bath? Do you ever cut your hair? A lowly adventurer you are.
A hired soldier, perhaps.
Please. I'm gracing you with my presence.
...Clad in leopard skin and leather.
Oh and what's this? Why are you wearing one sandal?
That look is SO last year.
Well, you see, that's a funny story.
I'll have to tell you about it sometime.
I'm Jason, the son of your brother...
Aeson.
The rightful king of this city.
Yeah, you dethroned and imprisoned him many years ago.
Remember?
No? You seem a little surprised.
You thought you killed all of Aeson's sons, right?
But I was taken and raised by Chiron the Centaur...
Who told me EVERYTHING that you did.
Man, this kid. I don't know how I'm gonna get rid of him!
Jason, have you heard the story of the Golden Fleece? You know, the one where the Greek King called Athmus, cheated on his wife
then banished her and the mistress persuaded Athmus to kill their children
and THEN a golden Ram swooped down from the skies to save the kids...
The girls slipped off and fell into the sea, but the boy was safe, so it's good...
Then the boy let the king kill the ram that made the gods all mad so they cursed the boy and his family
until the fleece was rightfully returned.
You know, that one?
I mean... uh...
Yeah, I might've heard it once or twice.
I've actually read a story just like this, The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan.
Great, well if you can get it and return it to Iolcus, the throne is yours.
Phew, glad I got that out of the way!
There's no way that kid would be able to survive such a treacherous journey. I
I know; it's a trick. Oldest one in the book! Sends me on a journey, thinks I'm gonna die...
But I mean come on how can you resist this and it'll be a great story for the ladies when I get back.
Tell me, Athena, that pool boy, Jason? Do you like him?
Well I mean I've never considered a mortal like him--
WAIT NO I meant do you like him... like as a person...
Oh right of course.
Me too. You know the Anarus River?
Yeah, it's dirty and fast...
NOT long ago...
Here she goes again. She's always talking about herself.
I stood on its bank disguised as apoor old woman testing the kindness of mortals; after all, humans are always boasting of their, well...
humanity. For many days and nights I called out to the people passing on the other side begging them to come and help me across
Everyone ignored me and I was gave up until at last Jason appeared
He waded the stream, slung me over his shoulder, carried me.
So that's how you lost a sandal.
Yeah still stuck in the riverbed
It's a shame. They were designer limited-edition Hermes Paris, in fact.
Anyway, Jason sound like a nice kid he deserves all the help we can give him. Where do we start?
With a ship, duh.
Alrighty, then we'll send the ship builder Argus all the heroes to Jason and they can go on their journey
hooray
Hey, dude, I'm Argus. I heard you need a ship?
Yeah I do but
itt needs to have like 50 oars... Do you want me to pay you in cash or credit?
I don't want money,
I just want to be a part of your crew, and if I can get a follow back on Instagram, that would be awesome.
I mean you can be part of my crew, and I guess I'll name this ship after you
Now let's meet the Argonauts!
I'm Castor!
And I'm Pollux.
And together we're...
Oh, I didn't see you there. Hi, I'm Orpheus and my music is pretty much
powerful enough to charm... anything!
Like a rock!
[plays Careless Whisper]
Check out my self-titled EP on soundcloud and my album on itunes
What's up? I'm Hercules. I'm a hit with the ladies, and I'm basically a god
[Shots of Hercules doing really bad parkour]
I'm Zetes, this is Calais, we're the sons of Boreas the north wind god.
Yeah, I guess you could say we
...blow people away!
Shut up.
So it's been a few days on this journey and let me just say there's been some *drama* on board.
Basically Hercules broke his oar, so he and his buddy Hylas went on shore to make a new one
Hylas went to get some water while Hercules was getting some wood, and he started flirting with one of the water nymphs.
Hylas, what are you doing? Get over here. She's just playing you.
How do YOU know what's good for me?
That's my OPINION
From what I heard the nymph tricked Hylas into drowning,
and I guess Hercules was pretty heartbroken about it.
he didn't really want to share with us anymore, so
I guess we're down a god.
What's up?
Sorry I'd like to host a nice dinner, but I've sort of got an infestation.
Okay, I'm gonna be honest with you
His course smelled bad like really bad, and he looked like he hadn't eaten in weeks.
I felt really bad for the guy.
I mean the least I could do is help a bro out.
I got you.
Lots of the Argonauts on the ship are sons of the wind God
Boreas
I'm sure they'd be happy to help
Well, I'm not quite how to show my gratitude. Thank you. I am a prophet though, so I must tell you
Beware the clashing rocks nearby.
I suggest you throw something- maybe a bird- so that the rocks close so you can follow.
Quickly behind once they open again
[movie clip bc we have no budget]
[screaming intensifies]
Hey do you guys think we could stop by Themiscyras?
I have an Amazon gift card..
No dude we don't have any time
[Medea gets shot by Cupid's arrow]
Oh my gods.
that is the cutest guy I've ever seen I'm totally gonna have to slide into his DMS
Hello weary travelers, please come make yourself at home
Well you see I'm looking for something in particular
The Golden Fleece I kind of need it to get my kingdom back. I mean we'll do anything.
I'll even give you a shout-out on Insta.
Needless to say, I was SHOOK.
I couldn't believe this stranger had the audacity to come in here and ask for my most prized possession
But I couldn't just kill him. There's just unspoken rule about Greek hospitality blah blah blah
But I had to find a way to kill him.
Yeah sure you can have the golden fleece if you yoke a metal bull... and...
Put the dragon's teeth into the ground. Super easy stuff.
I mean I couldn't just let him die!
I know I was betraying my whole family, but relationships are obviously more important.
Oh my gods, JASON
I h ave this magic ointment that will make you invincible!
It's super powerful and it smells like blueberries!
Wow... Um...
That's awesome. I mean. Thanks, bro!
He totally has feelings for me.
I don't know she was nice and all, but she seemed kind of clingy.
Hey guys, it's Medea, I'm currently just about to go enchant the beast that is guarding the Golden Fleece.
Just your typical everyday spell nothing too hard as you can see
This beast is guarding the fleece with its LIFE.
Alright. Give me that fleece!
Okay, that was the success we got the fleece right here
I'm gonna go find Jason and the other guys.
Hey bois it's Jason comin at you live--
oh my god
So I heard that Jason went and got married to some princess off in Corinth,
and I wasn't invited to the wedding.
So I sent the bride a little surprise.
We'll see how she likes it at her dinner party tonight.
[dies]
It's what she deserves.
Up next on Keeping Up with the Argonauts...
Medea takes her issue with Jason's kids a little too far.
He's DEAD.
