Document Summary
Humans who have the favour of gods. Jason leaves iolcus to get the golden fleece and wanders back. Much of his journey passes through fake places. Helle and phrixus have a wicked step mother. Steal the family golden fleece and fly on it for help. Helle falls off the golden fleece @ the hellespont (turkey) Aeson has the crown and pelias threatens him and his future children. Aeson gets thrown out of the land by pelias. Jason grows up and comes to the palace and demands the crown for aeson. Dropped a sandal (hera did this so a prophecy would be fulfilled of pelias being threatened by 1 shoe) Jason asks pelias for the crown back for his father. Pelias says you need to show that you"re worthy, go get the golden fleece. Jason gets the golden fleece because the gods are helping him. Helps him build the first" boat (but its not actually the first boat )
