Jason and the Golden Fleece

In order to claim the kingdom from his uncle, Jason must retrieve the golden fleece from a fire-breathing dragon. He built a boat called the Argo and collected 50 of some of the greatest heroes in Greece. On their journey to Colchis, where the fire-breathing dragon resides, they went through many tough challenges. When they arrived at Colchis Jason asked the King for the golden fleece. The King told him that he had to yoke fire-breathing bulls and plow them through a field sewn with dragon’s teeth. Medea, the daughter of the king, used magic to help Jason pass the challenge as he agreed to take her home with him and marry her. Medea then gave the dragon a sleeping potion and Jason retrieved the fleece. On their way the Argonauts met many other challenges, but were eventually able to make it.
The first love and revenge reference that came to mind was Taylor Swift’s Better Than Revenge.
