Jason and the Argonuts Blog

The story of Jason and the Argonauts is known to many. Some say it was the greatest myth ever created, but, that's the question, was it just a myth? Is their a chance that it was real? There is evidence, like the ship. There is evidence that the ship is real. Is it just the ship? Is their not more evidence to prove that this myth could have one day been real? Could it be that all myths were real? People believe that Jason’s journey was to recover the golden ram. Was their ever a golden ram?

The movies give us great evidence that the myth was real. They show us where the journey began and where it ended. They describe each character to be brave and willing. In part 3, the crew was willing to see if the drink was position or not so that Jason could live. Live to recover the golden lam. Live to tell the tale of how him and his crew, went on there journey. These aren’t the only movies on Jason and the Argonauts. There are many different types of stories. There are ones saying that Jason’s crew were slack, lazy and that no one could understand why Jason had chosen them. That’s not the only other one. There are ones that say that his crew were hard working, smart and fit. If you believe that this epic journey really happened, then you have to believe one of these stories. But which one?
There are not just movies about these stories, no; there are thousands of books devoted to Jason and his crew’s epic adventure. But like the movies they come in all different forms.
I believe that the tale of Jason and the Argonauts is real. From the documentary we watched, I realised that there was so much evidence, like the boat that makes you think that it only just happened. I may not believe the version of the story that you believe, but there is no denying that no matter how many different ways you here the story, it always ends the same.
