Legend has it that on the coast of the Black Sea far from Greece, there is a place called Korkas (now Caucasus), where there is a rare treasure-golden fleece. How many heroes went through hardships to get it, but none of them succeeded. Many people fell down during the long journey and didn't even see the shadow of the treasure.
Despite this, some people are still unwilling, and the protagonist Jason is eager to try. However, he thinks differently. It turns out that Jason is the son of King Eide. The son of Iyad is a wise monarch. He managed the country in good order and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. But it didn't last long. His younger brother, pelias, plotted to usurp the throne and drove the son of Iud and his son out of the country. The son of Eide had to wander around with his youngest son, trying to get revenge. Later, he finally found Kay Long Xing. Kay Long Xing was a famous educator in ancient Greek mythology, and many outstanding figures came from his family. The young Jason's heroism and his misfortune deeply touched the elder. Kay Long Xing resolutely agreed to the plea of the son of Iud, and determined to make every effort to train Jason into a talent.
Twenty years of hard study! Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, horseback riding and archery, Kay Long Xing strictly trained Jason according to the heroic image in the eyes of the Greeks. Jason lived up to expectations. In twenty years, the boy grew into a young man, and the naughty little prince became a brave soldier. Holding two spears, wearing leopard skin and long hair hanging over the shoulders, the heroic style moved the audience.
Pelias was shocked by his handsome and calm appearance. "This is really a tough guy! Fortunately, he is just a brat after all. "
An evil idea appeared in his mind.
"Dear, do you know the story of golden fleece? How many self-proclaimed heroes died for it, and none of them succeeded. It seems that there are really no heroes in this world! However, my son, if you can get golden fleece back, I will give my sacred throne for it.
But the artist was bold, and Jason bravely accepted the challenge. Pelias was overjoyed. He knew that Jason was a man of his word, and he was waiting to see his good end.
In order to accomplish this feat, Jason invited many of his classmates and friends from Kai Long Xing. These people are indomitable heroes, and everyone has a skill.
With the help of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Argos, the best Greek shipbuilder, built a big ship for them. This ship is made of wood that never decays in the sea, and it is carved with beams and painted with buildings, setting off the flying spirits of heroes. It can accommodate fifty rowers and is named Argo after the shipbuilder, which means "canoe". It is said that this is the first big ship that the Greeks sailed to the sea.
On a sunny morning, the heroes took their positions. As Commander-in-Chief Jason gave the order, Argo anchored and set sail. Fifty oarsmen struggled to paddle, and the boat soon disappeared from people's sight.
The hardships along the way are really hard to describe. Just like the Tang Priest in Journey to the West, they experienced many difficulties and obstacles. Until one day, the helmsman excitedly shouted to everyone: "Look, there is Korkas ahead!" " "
The heroes came to Korkas and decided to see King Ides first. Jason told everyone to drop their weapons. He and several companions entered the palace with an olive branch symbolizing peace. Jason didn't hide it. He told the king the purpose of his coming. The king couldn't help laughing at his words. "Young man, I admire your honesty. But golden fleece is a treasure of our country, how can it be easily spread abroad? If you really want this treasure, you must do two things before I can agree to your request. "
"Tell me, I will do anything for revenge and for my oath!"
"First of all, you must do something I often do. I have two magical cows. They have bronze hooves, and flames shoot from their nostrils. They are very fierce. At dawn, I rushed them to reclaim four acres of wasteland. I broke the tooth of a terrible dragon when the clod was turned up. At night, the harvest is full of brave soldiers. They came at me from all directions, and I will stab them to death with my sword. Secondly, in the forest hanging in golden fleece, there is a poisonous dragon waiting day and night. You must find a way to subdue it in order to achieve final success. "
Hearing these creepy descriptions, the heroes were stunned. The king laughed to himself. He knew that no one could do it. Otherwise, how can a national treasure be as stable as a rock? Jason also has a bottomless heart, but at this point, he had to bite the bullet and promise.
When I got home, everyone was preoccupied and no one wanted to say a word. At this time, the king's daughter Medea suddenly visited. It turned out that she was there when the king met the heroes just now. Jason's heroic behavior won her love at once, and she decided to help her sweetheart at all costs.
The next morning, Jason spread the magic medicine that Medea gave him all over his body. Immediately, a magical power filled every part of his body. He held the sword and shield, which were also painted with ointment, and stood upright in the morning light to meet the fierce battle. The king and his subjects came with gleeful smiles on their faces.
Jason looked around and found a huge yoke and plow on the ground not far away, all made of iron. I really don't know how much they weigh. Not allowing him to look closely, suddenly there were two earth-shattering roars. The golden light flashed in the distant cave, and in a twinkling, two cows had rushed to him. They breathe fire through their nostrils, eight copper hooves step on the ground, and the distant fields tremble with them.
Most of the audience fled in fear, and all the heroes were scared to disgrace. Only Jason was as cool as a cucumber and skillfully moved between two cows. His horn can't touch him, his bronze hoof can't kick him, and the magic medicine can't burn him. In a short time, the attack of the god cow slowed down. While they were breathing, he swooped down, grabbed the horn and dragged it to the iron plow. The two cows struggled desperately, but Jason was so powerful that he could only watch them being dragged onto the iron plow. Jason kicked his foot at them when two Newton knelt on the ground. Needless to say, Jason forcibly lifted the iron plow and yoke cover on them. Then he picked up a spear and whipped the cow like a whip. Two cows struggled forward and plowed a deep furrow behind them. Jason strode behind, sowing the dragon's teeth. Soon, four acres of land were cultivated. Jason untied the iron plow and yoke, and the two Niu Yi fled without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Time passed by, and soon the sun set and the crops in the field grew up. What crops are these? They are all fierce fighters, all wearing armor, and their shields and spears shine brightly. Jason lifted a big stone and threw it at them from a distance. Then he knelt on the ground and covered himself with a shield. Stones fell from the sky and these guys with dragon teeth thought they were traitors among them. They were so excited that they growled and started killing each other. Suddenly, the fields roared loudly, flying sand and stones, and the sun and the moon were dull. When the battle reached a fever pitch, Jason flew into the array like a meteor. I saw him flying up and down with a sword. This is a complete destruction. Finally, there were rivers of blood and corpses in the fields, and no soldier survived. Jason finally finished the first sentence that the king said.
The heroes rejoiced and they gathered around Jason to celebrate. But Jason knew from the king's eyes when he left that he wouldn't let it go, so he decided to steal golden fleece that night. The long-awaited decisive battle has finally come, and the heroes are responsive. "This is different from fighting, can only outsmart, unable to the enemy. Only Medea, orpheus and I will go, and the others will stay and prepare to return. " After listening to Jason's words, everyone was convinced and went to prepare.
Jason picked up his sword, and orpheus set off with Medea and his magic harp. Three people walked through a rugged path and through a maze of bushes. Finally, I came under a tall oak tree. The golden light on the top of the oak tree is golden fleece moved by countless people. Under the tree, the huge dragon patrolled warily, never closing his eyes. Seeing someone coming, it gave a long whistle, stuck out its tongue like a steel fork and ran at him with its teeth bared.
"orpheus, play your lyre!"
Hearing Medea's call, orpheus did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly plucked the strings. So melodious piano music and his loud singing floated in the Woods. For an instant, everything seemed to be frozen, even the fierce dragon lowered its mottled head and neck, and his eyes, which were shining with cold light and never closed, were absently closed.
When the time came, Jason quickly rushed up, climbed the treetop on the dragon's body and took down golden fleece. As soon as the three men succeeded, they immediately fled to the sea. Heroes have already set sail and paddled, silently waiting for their return. As soon as the three men got on the boat, Jason immediately cut the cable, and the Argo sailed back with a sharp paddle!
On the way back, they escaped the pursuers sent by the king, experienced many difficulties and obstacles, and finally returned safely to Greece, the haunting homeland.
Zeus was also moved by the earth-shattering feats of the heroes. He lifted the seagoing ships golden fleece and Argo into the sky. These two ships are Aries and Sagittarius. After golden fleece was taken away by Jason, there was nothing the dragon could do. Zeus felt that he was still conscientious about his work, so he lifted it to the sky, that is, Draco.
Jason succeeded in getting golden fleece back, but no matter how hard he tried to defend himself, pelias refused to admit it. Jason is an indomitable hero, but there is really nothing he can do about this scoundrel.
What is cruel is Medea. One day, pelias's daughters went for a walk in the Woods. Walking under the tree, they saw Medea sitting there. There is a big bowl in front of Medea. The flame is flourishing under the bowl, and the water in the bowl is boiling. After a while, Medea brought a sheep. The sheep is so old and sick that it can hardly stand. Medea killed the sheep with one knife, cut it into many pieces and put it in a bowl. After cooking for a while, I saw Medea close her eyes and mutter to herself. Then, she suddenly lifted the lid of the bowl, and a miracle happened. A lively lamb jumped out of it!
Pelias's daughters were stunned by what they saw. They thought of their old and sick father. If only he could be rejuvenated! So they went to ask Medea if this bowl can also make people younger. Knowing that they had been cheated, Medea answered them affirmatively and encouraged them with sweet words. After listening to Medea's words, the naive girls ran home happily and cut their father into pieces while he was sleeping. But no matter how these pieces are cooked in a bowl, the young father can't get out. The daughters knew that they were poisoned, but it was too late to cry!
Pelias certainly deserved it, but Medea's method was cruel. Zeus can't see the past. He was afraid that Medea would use this magic bowl to harm people again, so he lifted it to the sky. This is the big sleep.
