* JerkassGods: Surprisingly averted - likely due to the original myth featuring one of Hera's positive portrayals. The Gods seem friendly enough and Hera especially tries to stop Pelias from murdering a girl in her temple. She's quite willing to help Jason, though Zeus restricts the amount of times she may do so.

* MetaphoricallyTrue: When Jason meets Pelias (not knowing who it is), he says he'll need the help of this fine army commander to take back his throne. The reply he gets is "When your father defended his throne from Pelias, no man fought harder than I." Which is true.

The story revolves around the hero Jason (Todd Armstrong), rightful heir to the throne of Thessaly, whose throne was usurped from his father by EvilUncle Pelias (Douglas Wilmer). Pelias offers to give Jason the throne if he sails to the end of the world to claim the Golden Fleece, something which many have tried but failed. Jason gathers a BadassCrew, including [[WorldsStrongestMan Hercules]] and other Greek heroes, and sets sail aboard the ship ''Argo''. Together, the Argonauts encounter all sorts of adventures along the way. Jason's love interest is Medea (Nancy Kovack), a temple dancer, and the gods Zeus (Niall [=MacGinnis=]) and Hera (Creator/HonorBlackman) play roles in the story as well.
