Jason

Corresponding to the notion that one must worship all gods, one also should make sacrifices for the roles of every god. In Jason and the Argonauts, Jason is presented with opportunities to present sacrifices to the gods and present the importance to those who were willing to learn from the myth. Before the Argo set sail for Colchis, the Argonauts offered a traditional sacrifice to the god Apollo. Jason prays to Apollo “for a safe return to Greece under his personal guidance, which the god had promised at Delphi, and then vows further sacrifices upon their return”(Clauss, 1993). Jason is recognizing that he is human and in a way is beneath the gods so he has to portray respect and gratitude towards them. They then will see “the signs in the flame that reveal Apollo’s approval”(Clauss, 1993), and the god proves trustworthy throughout their journey as one night he lights up their path of dense dark fog.

In order to purify the evil they performed, they held funeral festivities to honor the dead as well as made sacrifices. Jason and the Argonauts choice, corresponds with the Greek values of appeasing the gods through…

As for Theseus I understand where your coming from…

4. Well Euripides does not state why Jason starts to actually care for him but I have an idea why. He was not too worried because he believed that they would be taken care of by their mother and later by him when he states on lines 668-672, “ I want to raise them in the proper way, one worthy of my house, to have brothers for the children born from you, and make them 670 all the same. Thus, with a united family I might prosper” Jason is saying…

All throughout my life, my stepfather Jason Sebastian has been my helping hand through the storm called life. When he came into my life I was four years old and he had his hands full. Not knowing what to expect, he was able to show me resilience. Even though Jason had taken over the role of my father at a very young age I don’t call him dad. I have gotten so used to calling him by his name that it has grown on me as a name but also as a meaning. Whenever I hear the name Jason I automatically…
