Jason Bio


Hello! I am Jason, leader of the argonauts. I was sent on a perilious journey to retrieve a golden fleece for the horrible King Pelias. King Pelias had stolen the kingdom of Iolcus from Jason's father Aeson, and offered to return the kingdom to Jason, if he could bring back the fleece. Jason trained with the centaur Chiron in order to prepare for the hard journey. Jason assembled a group of argonauts, including Hercules, to embark on this journey of all journies. Jason set of to get the golden fleece, which was a winged ram (said to be the offspring of Posideon) wanted by all. Jason arrived on the island and was greeted by King Aeetes, who immediately disliked Jason. He agreed to give Jason the fleece, if Jason could harness the power of two supernatural bulls, plow an entire field, and harvest the said field. Jason did everything he needed to do, and was rewarded with the fleece. He did need the help from his lover Medea, to truly retrieve the fleece. Once he had the fleece, Jason returned home and took control over his new kingdom of Iolcus.

  1. This biography is well written, however, do not forget the perspective. First it was written in 1st person, and then later throughout the paragraph the point of view was changed to 3rd person. You are one hardworking man for accomplishing all those tasks from King Aeetes!
