Welcome to Gods and Heroes of Ancient Greece, here MyLinda Butterworth of Totally Stories interprets the written word for your listening pleasure. Today's story is The Story of the Argonauts: Part 1 of 9. Today we meet Jason whose uncle Pelias has stolen the throne and Jason has returned to reclaim it. Pelias claims old age and asks Jason to go on a quest for him and when he returns he will give him the throne. The quest was for the legendary golden fleece. We learn the history of the fleece. Jason leaves on a boat named the Argo built by the Goddess Athene and craftsmen, for him and all the other heroes accompanying him. Their first stop is in Lemnos which is an island of only women. Why are there only women on this island? Guess you will have to listen in to know the whole story. #GodsandHeroes #SpokenWord #Argonauts #Jason #Pelias #Greece #stories #MyLindaButterworth #TotallyStories If you enjoyed today's story please leave us a comment and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified of new videos.
