Jason and Golden Fleece

It has been 1o years since i decided to use this name without knowing its origin. Out of curiosity, i searched the meaning behind my name today.

Amazingly, i found out that Jason was a late ancient Greek mythological hero, famous as the leader of the Argonouts and their quest for the Golden Fleece. The story goes like this.

Once upon a time, there was a king in lolcos (Greek) named Aeson. He had a half-brother named Pelias. Pelias was very power hungry and wished to gain dominance over all of Thessaly. He overthrew his Aeson as the rightful king and killed all the descendants of Aeson that he could. However, Jason, an infant son of Aeson was saved by his mother.

Many years later, the grown Jason came back to reclaim as the rightful king but Pelias said, "To take my throne, which you shall, you must go on a quest to find the Golden Fleece." Jason happily accepted the quest.

Jason assembled a great group of heroes, known as the Agronouts ( including the mighty Hercules)

During his journeys he married the sorceress Medea, who helped him gain the fleece and kill his uncle, but who later turned against him when he fell in love with another women. Because he broke his vow to love Medea forever, Jason died lonely and unhappy.

He was asleep under the stern of the rotting Agro when it fell on him, killing him instantly. The manner of his death was due to the deities cursing him for breaking his promise to Medea.

How many of you out there really knows the meaning of your name before decide to use them?

Name serves more than just a ordinary call from friends...
It represents who you are and what you made from...
