In ancient times, the Greeks believed that the gods came to Earth disguised as animals and people. The ancient Greeks made up stories about these gods and the humans that surrounded them. We call these stories myths. Myths often tell us about the adventures of heroes. The story of Jason and the Golden Fleece is one of these stories. It tells of a young man, Jason, and his comrades who embark on a great quest. Jason sets out to undo a wrong done to him and his family. His uncle had stolen his father’s throne, and Jason’s goal is to take it back. In order to do so, he must go on a long journey and perform many difficult feats. Along the way, he travels to new lands, conquers monsters, obtains help from the gods, and overcomes great hardships. The graphic retelling of this Greek myth will capture readers’ imaginations.

Jason and the Golden Fleece
The mythological Greek epic of Jason and the Golden Fleece is retold here with a bold new vision. Inspired after following the hero's route to Batumi, author James Riordan bases his tale on the first-recorded full version written by Apollonius of Rhodes. This account sheds a more positive light on the character Medea.The heroic characters and high adventure in this picture book will appeal to both boys and girls, as will Jason Cockcroft's inspired artwork, which mixes Ancient Greek vase pastiche and high realism.
