Hercules, the strongest man alive with a mighty heart to match. Orpheus, charmer of nature and master of music. Castor and Pollux, the twin tricksters. The Boreads, sons of the North Wind who could hurtle through the air. Brought together by a young man’s call for help, these heroes joined forces and named themselves the Argonauts. Iseult Gillespie traces their quest to steal the Golden Fleece.

Argonauts... Assemble!
What about the amazon rainforest???! No?
Avengers: We are the earth's mightiest heroes
Argonauts: That's cute.
The avengers but if every member was as powerful as thor.
I thought some of the Avengers belonged to the Galaxy.
Nice....😂😂
I want a movie
@@putingtigre5333 me too
Marvel: We have the Avengers
DC: We have the Justice League
Greeks: Hold my Iliad.
How about hold my wine 🍷
Greeks: Hold my Iliad, Odyssey, Theogony, Argonautica, Dionysiaca and a few other epic poems.
@@mitologieantiche3458 ...Argonautica (the voyage of the Argo)...
... that's the epic poem by Appolonius of Rhodes that you want to mention...
Miklos Ernoehazy There are at least three extant Argonautica… one by Apollonius Rhodius, one by Valerius Flaccus and one from the Orphic cult.
@@minxes69 ...that would be "hold my kylix"...
There was an idea... to bring together a group of remarkable people
...see if they could become something more...
*Avengers theme* Palias: in time. You know what's like to lose, to feel so desperately that you're right. Yet to fail all the same.
*Theme intensify* dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives.
*Appears on throne, theme intensify* Hercules: evacuate the city, engage all defenses and get this man a sword
*Epic fight scene* Pelias: if Jason considers of taking the throne, but the fleece**laughs**would put a smile on my face
*THEME INTENSIFY*
Jason and the Argonauts:war for the golden fleece
Perhaps even a group of gentleman, deemed more than remarkable but even...”extraordinary”?!
I saw this comment, then I watched the video, it made more sense than it would normally had
...see if they could become sthg more...
Avengers, Assemble ⍟
Basically Ancient Greek Avengers?
Oh u know it
Yeah, is like infinity war
Or ancient Greek justice league
Precisely!
I can't wait for ancient Greek Loki, Ultron and Thanos
Jason: “Argonauts assemble!”
Meh
Jason: captain greek/greece
Or may greece version of Nick fury
(Continue the tread)
Hulk: Hercules
Jason: Argonauts......assemble

I'm here to talk to you about the Argonaut Initiative.
Welcome to my Ted talk
Didn't know you were a fan of ancient myths ;)
I'll get the Mt.Olympus Accords ready .
Argonauts: Get busy with ladies
Hercules: *Vietnam Flashback to when he Killed his Wife and Kids*
Wasn't that Kratos
@@DARTH-R3VAN I am not gonna grace you with any answer other then
Yes, but Kratos wasn't really in a lot of greek myths
Lol more like Heracles was already getting down and didn't need a lady.
@@DARTH-R3VAN kratoss is not a greek god lol . it's a videogame character in the greek mythology . also hercules did kill his family
I thought his curse was gone
GOD FINALLY, IVE BEEN WISHING FOR SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT THE ARGONAUTS
depsatico yay astronauts!! Wait what?
Bell from DanMachi has the skill "argonaut" I think
I wanted Persephone
someone should make a movie based on this tho
@@idcthatsnoneofmybusiness3332 Darling?
*Fun Fact:* The stop motion sequence of the Jason and the Argonauts took 4 months to work. Kudos for Ray Harryhausen for making an iconic skeleton scene.
@Sandcastle • ikr? It took me 4 months to learn how to walk on a skating rink.
Nice to meet you again.
☠skeleton scene 👍👍📺
Harryhausen’s from Monsters Inc is named after him
I don;t get it though. both This is a way different version than the movie.
1. The land of "Colchis" is thought to be the present day country of Georgia.
2. By the mythological timeline of the Greeks, the tale of Jason and the Argonauts predates the Trojan War.
3. The ancient Greeks considered the Argo the first ship of its kind to go on a high-sea voyage, adding to the notion of the great antiquity of the story.
Colchis is not "thought to be" Georgia it is indeed Georgia. Colchis is an ancient Georgian Kingdom.
@@user-mk5xk3gm3b ეგრისი
If you look at the map it’s obvious that it’s today’s Georgia . Colchis and Greeks had trade relations in ancient times
@@user-mk5xk3gm3b colchis ancestors are Mingrelians and lazs they are not georgians
@@voiceinmyhead7483 it was western Georgia in general not only we (Megrels/Laz), Svan also. And yes, we're Georgians. Georgia was created by uniting two ancient Kartvelian kingdoms of Colchis and Iberia, thus creating united Georgia. Georgian/Kartvelian is an umbrella term refering to every Kartvelian tribe which has contributed to creating of Georgia. We're Georgians and have contributed to our homeland as much as other Georgians from different regions. Be quiet when you know nothing.
The Avengers: We have a hulk
The Argonauts: We have a Hercules
Heracles*
Teacher: talks About Greek mythology
Percy jackson fans: *its our time, boys*
But I agree
title: argonauts
me, popping out of the void: sO WE TALKING ABOUT ARGO II'S PREDECESSOR???
Yea boyieee
Yes 😍
Everytime someone mentions anything from the Greek/Roman mythology, I immediately think about Percy and Argo II crew
We're living in good times. Thanks Rick Riordan.
Mom: Why aren't you studying.
Me: I AM
Lol
1:51 Hercules on simp patrol
Madeline Miller’s Circe is probably the best thing I read in 2018. It gives a fascinating and poignant new perspective to a lot of the Greek myths. Speaking of Jason & The Argonauts, her take on Medea is something that particularly stuck with me. It’s so easy to see her as a villain but Miller made her story infinitely more tragic and kind of relatable (brother carving aside). Madeline Miller’s Song Of Achilles is also incredible if you’re looking for a new perspective on the Trojan war. I cannot wait to see what she does next.
Thanks so much for the added recommendation, Stefan! We totally agree and hope everyone takes the opportunity to read or listen to this book.
Agreed!! Recently I listened to Circe (Perdita Weeks' narration is superb) then read Hercules, My Shipmate by Robert Graves. Fantastic combination!
Justin I bought the audiobook too! It was so good I finished it in 3-4 days. From the first word I was hooked. I really can’t wait to see what she does next.
I'm sorry this comment really saddens me. "her take on Medea is something that particularly stuck with me. It’s so easy to see her as a villain but Miller made her story infinitely more tragic and kind of relatable". It's like you've never even heard that there are ancient greek tragedies about Medea. Her whole myth IS supposed to be relatable and not paint her as a villain but more of a tragic figure.
Why would ANYONE ever deem Medea as a villain? Even as a child listening to my mother read tales from Greek mythology, she has always struck me as someone who was treated unjustly.
Everybody: So, Avengers.
Me: Waiting for Medea.
😂
RULE BUREKA!!

**cutesy voice* Pain Breaker!
Your wait is over! Enjoy part 2, it came out a few hours ago :)
Hercules: “What do you want?”
Jason: “I’m here to tell you about the Argonaut initiative...”
Hercules: I’m not gonna join your super secret boy band
Hercules SMASH!!!!
hercules is kinda like the hulk
he is the strongest one,he is the only one not involved in the girls , and they left him by mistake(ultron ending)
I love all of the Avengers comparisons because when you really think about it, mythological characters like Jason and Hercules/ Heracles( and many, many other such characters) really are arguably, some of the first Super Heroes.
Well, I was not expecting that cliffhanger
' _ '
th-cam.com/video/M7cIc7IAN6U/w-d-xo.html
I read these myths as a kid ..... It's so great to revisit them
WAIT HE NEVER FINISHED
WHAT WAS THE MOST HORRIBLE PRICE OF ALL??? FOR THE FINAL TASK
Medea, I think?
that when he reaches Colchis, he meets Pelias who gives him an impossible task to tame his sun horses gifted from his father helios. meanwhile there is a witch named Medea who is frowned upon the gods so the gods make Medea love Jason so Medea helps Jason in return of his love. so she puts a balm to tame the horses but Pelias anyways orders his men to execute Jason in the morning. so Medea overheard this and told the Argonauts to sail in the night and steal the golden fleece. but then overtime Jason starts loving someone else and Medea gets jealous and kills their two kids. and Jason is shocked and leaves alone to sleep under the Argo and the oar kills Jason while he is sleeping.
how come an oar can kill him?
@@ajibara9970 He fell asleep on his ship and the oar fell on his head, killing him.
@@Lord_Of_Night According to many other versions of the story, the ship, rotted from old age, fell on him, not the oar.
To be honest, when I was first introduced to "Jason and the Argonauts", I misread it as...
"Jason and the Astronauts"
Bruh
Marvel: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history
1300BC Greece: Hold my beer
You mean hold my ambrosia? :P
@@seraph818 Nah he means nectar
Actually the pigeon flew through the rocks as they were closing and then returned to the ship , where Jason saw that only its tail had been damaged from the rocks , so their ship passed through with only the aft being damaged
aft, the rear end of ships :D

Yeah the adventures of odysseus are great!
So basically they were the first Avengers, got it
You copied the no.2 comment
@@Light-rs6jp oof I did not see that comment
Peter Marais ikr
Or the Avengers are the modern day Argonauts? Coz the Argonauts came first right?
this tale is really epic... until you realize it was all just so one guy could become king of an island. i guess it really is about the journey and not the destination
Rock: Ha ha, I’ve got you now!
Argonauts: *Releases Dove*
Dove: It’s cool, they’re with me.
Rock: *Stops crushing*
Yeah this part wasnt explained , before they crossed the rocks Athena told them that they would have to release a dove before they crossed.If the dove went through unharmed , their ship would do the same . (Also it didnt pass unharmed , it got hit at the very end of its tail , and so did the ship , but it wasnt any serious damage)
Ah yes. I can remember time when Jason, Orion, Manricardo, Achilles, Charlotte, Roberts and Paris worked together to stop mechanized Odysseus, some angry genderbend spear god and some mage who yoinked Zeus' Throne as the main god in the Greek Pantheon.
Man of culture i see
Its funny to think that the Greek mythology Argonauts is analagous to the Avengers but Fate Grand Order's Argonauts is essentially The Suicide Squad.
@@CptPhilippnes in the sense that they all basically committed sepukku, Orion offed himself in order to save Artemis, and Jason basically allowed himself to die by his own injuries.
@@KellyCalKelsey well basically Orion chose to stop the biggest threat which was Artemis, sacrificing the power of a Grand Sercant to pull off what was the impossible, shooting down a laser satellite with a bow made from the armor of Achilles and Jason was basically a dead man walking after surviving a laser shot from orbit that wiped out 12 of Heracles lives and somehow lived long enough to be the last of the Argonauts still standing. A totally impossible mission pulled off by a group of Heroic Spirits with the least amount of chance to survive.
0:06 insert obligatory "ITS HERACLES" comment
3:37 who knew we would get a cameo of ella the harpy in a ted ed video?
percy jackson fans will understand the reference.
Aaaaaa yeeeesss I get The reference! She is an amazing character!
I am so glad our fandom is loud in the comments
Aren’t they just harpies tho?
yes!
Lol
I love when they explain these myths
Argonauts, the original Avengers!
Oh how i love mythology! Thank you ted-ed for creating such amazing animation along with stories
*Mission Complete*
MVP of the game: _Hercules_
There was an idea...
To bring together a group of remarkable heroes and demigods
I just told the story of Jason and Argonaut to my little sisters a week ago....
Well because Jason was released in fgo
These are so interesting! Thank you, Ted-Ed!
A new myth and story from Ted-Ed. I love learning new myths and relearning ones I may have forgotten. Thanks for this, guys
I was expecting some FGO reference, but since this video doesn't mentioned Medea and Atalante, I'm disappointed
i thought it was Atalanta?
Medea Is a Princess of Colchis, so she appears later
This is just part one, no? They haven't got the fleece yet.
LoL everything is a Fgo reference already
@@Seblak And Atalanta a fair while after that
Hercules: Guys, quit hanging with island babes!
Orpheus: Didn’t you solve a labor by bedding the queen of the Amazons?
Hercules: Yes, and look where that got me! They want to kill me, and when they do, I’ll be surrounded by idiots!
Achilles's and Odysseus' dads were there too, Atalanta, Theseus, another giant Edas with his brother Lygkeas
Yes
The animation and narration are absolutely beautiful.
In short, the Avengers of Greek Mythology
"Ancient Greece's Mightiest Heroes."
Every time they say Jason it reminds me of Jason Grace and when they say Golden Fleece it reminded me how wayyyyyy easier it was for Percy to get it
Love this series. Please continue to indulge us with knowledge!
Some versions also Included Atlanta said to be one of the greatest warriors of that time and Theseus post minotaur I think even some of Persius decendents
Disney: "Avengers are the most ambitious crossover in history"
Ancient Greece: "Hold my wine"
rlly gonna clickbait me like this and not even finish the story?
I was for soooo long for u to make a video on the Argonauts! Thanks for making this great video!!
OMG this was AWESOME! Part 2 soon?
Great animation as usual. I was always fascinated by the Jason story, its psychological and metaphysical meanings and interpretations.
animation could actually be a lot better
@@richtigmann1 Maybe, there's always the room for it. Nevertheless, it really pleased my eye to watch this one.
Yes more Greek mythology
Now do Persephone and Hades
Love that Orpheus is styled like a 90’s heartthrob. 😂
waiting and excited for part 2
Just to clarify.
Phineas' advice to the Argonauts was that before they pass the two moving rocks ( I forgot their name.) , they should release the dove. If the dove survived, they should quickly follow it because it meant that they will survive the rocks. If the dove was crushed, the crew would be crushed too.
P. S. (what happened after) :The crew set the dove free. It survived, but lost a few tail feathers. The Argo survived too, they just lost a wooden ornament at the end of the ship.
“Jason, I don’t feel so good”
It feels like a normal adventure story but with good story teller it become epic
Been waiting for this for a long time. Thanks Ted-Ed
imagine being an awesome hero who got the Golden Fleece and dying by a rotting peace of ship
Too soon
Calvin Bastian medea sucks man
um. SPOILERS
Marvel:
Avengers is the greatest crossover ever made
Ancient Greece:
Hold my wine!
going back to this video, thank you for recommending madeline miller's circe! i love it so much. thank you ted-ed! 💖
Wonderful! I watched the movie as a child and never knew this backstory! Thanks for posting!
Marvel: we have the avengers!
Jason: we have Hercules
The funny thing is, so do the Avengers. He joined the team in the 1960s comics.
Best cliffhanger since Infinity War...
This is great material for my D&D thank you good sir
Like 3 years later and this animation still amazes me lol
So that's it huh? We some kind of Fleece Squad?
"Who are you Argonauts?"
"I am Hercules!"
"Orpheus!"
"Castor!"
"Pollux!"
"The Boreads, Sons of the North Wind!"
"And me... Jason!"
TED-Ed hit a homerun with this narrator! Amazing voice!
Epic!! What a cliffhanger! Thanks Iseult
cool so like a ancient end-game movie. a bunch of hero's from their own story's coming together in one big literary universe.
Screw jason he ruined medea's life completely and lied to her
I've heard Jason described as the Chad of Greek history.
@@Madhattersinjeans Err Heracles/Hercules had over fifty women and impregnated at least that many, so many descendants, in fact, that they called themselves the Heracleidae so you decide who the true Chad was lol
Mostly succesful demigod is a chad, just like their parents do.
Zeus succc
medea killed their children when jason divorced her
two children
her children
@@ploofthesheep2887 because jason took everything from her and she knew jason didnt care about her.that was only way she could hurt him
I'm still waiting for part 2
Jason and The Augonauts: **Exist**
Hollywood: "this is free real estate."
When you've read Rick Riordan's books and you know alot of stuff lmao
Jason: The First Argonaut
The Incredible Hercules
Invinvible Orpheus
I’ll patiently wait for a Perseus & Medusa Ted-ed video. My favourite.
I get a rush of dopamine from TedEd video Notification. I guess i am addicted to them 😅😁❤❤
The First Avengers
You mean the first Justice league? Because Justice league was created before the avengers
@@chrisp.9385 Justice League is Greek Pantheon
Avengers is Argonauts
jeb _ Yeah, the Gods from Mt. Olympus seem more like the JL. After all, the comics themselves like to compare them to each other
Nobody cares about Justice League beside kiddo DC fans.
There's a part two of this video? Argonauts : Endgame?
PLS WE NEED MORE
Oh god cant wait for part2
Myth videos are just great
You could also do the other story based on her book Song of Achilles,
Are we certain the all-female island was Lemnos and not Lesbos ?
Finally
Was waiting for this
Ah I was so excited to see this myth covered on here!!! :D
The doves tail was colt and the end of the ship was also broken
Ancient Greek: Oh Gods, not another Argonaut story! It's all one gets these days. I've had enough of them.
Okay now I finally understand what that line in the song "Birdhouse in your soul" was referring to
i need part 2!!!
So Hercules is the Ancient Version of Infinity War Hulk?
🎵Jason and the pussycats...🎵 lol... I hope someone gets this Nickelodeon reference.😂
Yes
There still could be an idea!!
The Argonauts initiative.
Circe is actually such a great book, I HIGHLY reccommend it
