Stories From Greek History: In a Series of Tales Related to His Son (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Stories From Greek History: In a Series of Tales Related to His Son
Jason was a young and gallant knight, and dwelt with his father outside the city. Now it had been fore told to King Pelias, that a man who would come to him with one shoe would deprive him of his kingdom. And it happened that King Pelias gave a great feast, to which Jason was invited. In coming into the city Jason had occasion to pass through a brook, there being no bridge over it. There had been that night a terrible thunder storm, and it had rained heavily; the brook was full of water and greatly swollen, as it was at Albano when the heavy rain fell. The strings of one of Jason's shoes gave way and he lost it in the water, and so he came into the king's house with only one shoe. When King Pelias saw this he was struck with fear, and commanded Jason to quit the country, and not to return unless he brought with him the golden fleece.
Jason was not at all frightened, and invited all knights who were brave and valiant to go with him on the adventure; for, in order to obtain the fleece it was necessary to fight with wicked monsters and wicked men.
Jason built a great ship for himself and his companions. The goddess minerva, who loved him, assisted him in his undertaking; she gave him a tree for a mast, and when jason consulted this tree it told him what he was to do.
