Jason and the Argonauts
Part I
The Betrayal
Jason was from Iolcus (modern day Volos)
His father was Aeson, King of Iolcus
Aeson was betrayed by Pelias (his half-brother)
All of Aeson’s children were killed
Jason survived because he was born during the attack, and
presumed still-born
Jason was raised, in hiding, by Chiron the centaur
An oracle said one day Pelias would be overthrown
