Jason Voyage: The Quest for the Golden Fleece
During the Age of Heroes, Jason and his band set out from Greece in search of the Golden Fleece. Their boat, the first in Western history whose name is known, was Argo, "the finest of all ships that braved the sea with oars." En route, Argonauts encountered the terrors of the classical world... Harpies, the Clashing Rocks, the entrance to Hades, as they rowed to the ends of the earth to find the kingdom of Princess Medea. Recreating a 20-0ar replica of a Bronze Age galley, the producers rowed the grueling 2,500 mile-long-journey in the wake of the legend, experiencing the same hardships as their ancient predecessors and finding in the voyage and geography realistic explanations for many of the elements of the Jason legend.
