And he's the son of Eson, grandson of Cruthias, and he's the heir to the throne of Iolcus, which is kind of In Greece and Thessaly, and if you imagine Athens and Olympia up north, halfway between, kind of on the coast there, that's Thessaly, and it's now a place called Volos.

So he's going to set out from Colchis, go to the end of the world, which is essentially he's going to go to Colchis, which is the Black Sea. That's that big body of water above Turkey on the right-hand side. I'm not good with east and west, so the very right-hand side. Go there. through all sorts of places, and then come back again. So that's his most basic story.

And we start off with him arriving with one sandal. And the ruler of Eolkus, who's, I think, his uncle, Pelias, which should be his kingdom, has been warned about the one-sandaled man. Now, some of the accounts are really fun. They have Jason just losing the sandal as he crosses a river. One account has Jason...

saving an old woman in a river who's actually Hera in disguise, and he loses his sandal that way. So that shows he's kind and good and noble, and Hera likes him and she's going to be his helper. Unusually, because Hera is usually the enemy of most heroes.

Very unusual. And in the great film, there's a little twist in the film of Jason and the Argonauts where she appears on the riverbank and makes Plius, the evil king, fall in the water and Jason rescues him. And when they come out, Plius looks down and sees he only has one sandal. So that's a really good twist. So that's the first trope is the prophecy about the man will come.

And in Pindar, this is so great. Pindar describes, has a wonderful description of Jason arriving in Yolkis wearing two different types of clothing. Get this, a tight-fitting magnesium tunic that clung to his superb limbs and a leopard skin to protect him from shivering showers. And his long hair flows down his back. Now that shows he's really young. He hasn't cut his hair yet.

And in almost all the accounts, we emphasize that Jason's quite young and many of them say he just has his first beard. So he's like 20 years old. He's quite young and good looking. So this is very impressive. So that's our first trope.

Yes, I think we can firmly place it in the Bronze Age, especially the oral traditions and the kind of establishment of who are these people in different areas of ancient Greece. By the way, there's a great resource on the internet, which is the World History Encyclopedia, and there's a map of the hero Jason and his quest with the Argonauts.
