Raised by the centaur Chiron on Mount Pelion, Jason comes down to claim his kingdom and is sent by King Pelias to fetch the Golden Fleece. Heracles, Orpheus, Castor and Polydeuces join the Argo’s crew, and along the way the heroes tell older myths of Perseus, Prometheus and others, before Medea’s sorcery changes everything in Colchis.
