Rise of the Argonauts is a third person action-packed video game developed by Liquid Entertainment and available in Microsoft Windows, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

In the gameplay, the player assumes the role of the King of Iolcus, Jason. According to the game story, Jason’s wife — Alceme is assassinated on their wedding day, so Jason vowed to take revenge on her killers. After that, Jason discovers that the only way to bring back his wife and to earn back the respect of his subjects is to obtain the Golden Fleece. To achieve this heroic feat, Jason must find out the Golden Fleece with the help of Greek mythology’s greatest heroes — Hercules, Atalanta and Achilles.

During the gameplay, Jason (i.e. the player) will face Blacktongues, Ionians, mythical beasts and other characters who are behind Alceme’s assassination, but he will not be alone since four more Argonauts join him along the way and one witch who was a former Blacktongue but now want to destroy them. Players can obtain unique powers and abilities during the course of the play. Characters become stronger with armor and weapons upgrades significant in scope, leaving enemies nearly helpless. Players must learn to satisfy the Gods and interact wisely with those they face, since decisions impact the story flow and available missions.

In short, the gameplay is all about leading a team of iconic warriors, involving in deep exploration and epic quests, engaging a life of brutal combat and pass through a world ruled by mythological gods.

The genealogy begins with Chaos and–based on works by Hesiod, Homer, Aeschylus, Pindar, Bacchylides, Herodotus, Euripides, Apollodorus, Pausanias, Diodorus Siculus, and scores of other ancient poets, playwrights, and writers–continues down through the Titans, the gods, legendary kings, and such well-known figures of literature as Odysseus, Jason, Antigone, and Helen of Troy, as well as hundreds of obscure figures, including their spouses, paramours, children, and descendants. The chart shows all of the known relationships–parental, marital, and extramarital–of each figure. In addition to furnishing a citation for each relationship, the index provides brief descriptive information and indicates the quadrant and page of the continuous chart where the relationship is depicted.

Jason and the Golden Fleece


Jason and the Golden Fleece


$12.98


Award-winning children’s author James Riordan boldly retells this story from Greek mythology, introducing readers to the first great European hero to undertake a grand journey. Accompanied by some of ancient Greece’s bravest heroes, Jason leads an expedition to retrieve the Golden Fleece, the property of a king in a far-off land. Traveling by sea, they encounter trial after trial along their route – reeking Harpies, deadly clashing rocks, and fierce Amazon warrior women – and yet more challenges await them at their destination. For before he will give up the fleece, the king devises a test for Jason that will certainly be the death of him – unless the king’s daughter, Medea, agrees out of love for Jason to lend him her magical powers. Complemented by illustrations that marry ancient Greek vase pastiche with high realism, this is a classic tale of high adventure that holds appeal for boys and girls alike.

Excerpt from book: INTRODUCTION TO THE GREEK MYTHS TO proceed immediately to the narration and discussion of the myths of Greece would be much like an attempt to construct a high road without a survey. We must first of all make certain that we know what a myth is, and such an endeavour to give sharp definition to our theme will naturally lead to an investigation of the special conditions which, like soil and weather to a plant, favour the germination and growth of myth. Then, granting that myth has some connexion with religion, we must inform ourselves as to the peculiar nature of the religion and the gods of Greece. By such a course we may perhaps be so fortunate as to reach a point of vantage from which we can gain a clear and comprehensive view of the unique character of the Greek myths. Once this has been gained, a series of pertinent questions will present themselves, and these we shall enumerate and discuss in their proper place and order. /. What is Myth We wish it were possible to define myth satisfactorily by an epigram; to say with Marett, for instance, that it is "Animatism grown picturesque." But, unhappily, epigram is a definition only for those who know, and this circumstance limits us to the use of cold analysis. For the purpose of ascertaining the elements of myth let us regard it from the points of view of (a) form, (b) time, (c) subject-matter, and (d) relation to fact. (a) It is commonly stated that a myth, in order to be a myth, must be cast in narrative form. A little reflection, however, will show that to make this a hard and fast rule is tantamount to rejecting not only the epithets applied to the gods by their worshippers, but also the attributes accorded them bypoet, priest, and artist. This we cannot consistently do (and, moreover, no writer on mythology ever d…

Jason is a young warrior in training — and yet there’s more to him than his simple appearance might suggest. Raised by the wise centaur Chiron and believing himself an orphan, Jason discovers that his true identity is not the only secret his guardian has been keeping. What he learns sends Jason and five of Chiron’s other apprentices on a dangerous journey to save the kingdom of Iolcus from a horrible fate. In a daring race against time, Jason and his companions must bridge yawning chasms, battle vicious harpies, navigate their way down treacherous rapids, and outsmart marauding centaurs. Surpris-ingly, Jason’s greatest challenge comes from within, for becoming a great leader proves to be the most difficult task of all. In another thrilling adventure that imagines Greek heroes as young men and women, Jane Yolen and Robert J. Harris explore the early years of Jason, before he led the Argonauts on one of the most famous quests in Greek mythology.
