  • The Argonauts were a team (often called a band) of adventurers and heroes commanded by the heir to the throne of Iolcos, Jason.

  • The Argonauts are a group of heroes. They were given the name because the ship they travelled on during their most famous mission to find the Golden Fleece was called the Argo. (Young Hercules) Ten years after their famous journeys, the Argonauts held a reunion in Argos. After the Golden Fleece was seemingly stolen again, some of the Argonauts set out on a second expedition to retrieve it, with Phoebe, daughter of the Argonaut Lycinus, joining them. (HTLJ: "Once a Hero").
  • After the death of King Cretheus, the Aeolian Pelias usurped the Iolcan throne from his half-brother Aeson and became king of Iolcus in Thessaly (near the modern city of Volos). As a result of this unlawful act, an oracle warned him that a descendant of Aeolus would seek revenge. Pelias put to death every prominent descendant of Aeolus he could, but spared Aeson because of the pleas of their mother Tyro. Instead, Pelias kept Aeson prisoner and forced him to renounce his inheritance. Aeson married Alcimede, who bore him a son named Diomedes. Pelias intended to kill the baby at once, but Alcimede summoned her kinswomen to weep over him as if he were stillborn. She faked a burial and smuggled the baby to Mount Pelion. He was raised by the centaur Chiron, who changed the boy's name to Jason.
