Jason and the Golden Fleece

Jason was the son of Aeson, a great king of Iolcos, whose half-brother Pelias desired the throne. Pelias usurped Aeson and killed every descendant that he was able to. This may seem like a harsh thing to do to a brother, but in Greek mythology, this is really just par for the course. Luckily, Jason, a newborn at the time, was saved when his mother and other women feigned that he had been stillborn (thank the Muses that they were such good actors). She sent him to be educated by Chiron, free of persecution. Pelias consulted an oracle and learned that he himself would be usurped by the man with one sandal. Grown up, Jason returns to Iolcos and helps an old woman to cross the river Anauros in the great tradition of good deeds, and what do you know, he loses a sandal. When he confronts Pelias, claiming to be the rightful king, Pelias realizes what shall happen, so he sends young Jason on a quest for the Golden Fleece, promising that success will mean the throne. Jason willfully accepts and builds an all-star team featuring classics like Orpheus and Heracles and even some dudes who could fly. He gets some dude Argus to build them a great ship, Argo, naming them the Argonauts. The rest is a Ben Affleck movie about Iran or something. Anyways, he probably gets the fleece. I don't care, I just like imagining this team of heroes setting off on an adventure.

That's a weak suit. Jason would be ashamed.
