Jason was the leader of the Argonauts, a group of about 50 heroes that he join together to carry out the task of bringing the Golden Fleece. For the occasion was built a ship called Argo, in which the Argonauts made the long and perilous voyage across the Danube river, the Lybian desert, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. The expedition was full of struggle against the forces of nature as well as against men.
