Jason was one of the heroes of Greek mythology, son of Aeson, married to Medea, leader of the Argonauts, a band of heroes famous for their quest to find the Golden Fleece in Colchis (now Georgia).
Their name Argonauts - that in Greek means 'sailors of Argo'- comes from their ship, the Argo, which took its name by its builder, Argus.
[in Greek: Αργοναύτες pronounced: Arghonaftes (naftes=sailors)]
