Greek Myths
The Argonauts and Mount Pelion
Jason was the son of Aeson, the rightful king of Iolcus, and Alcimede.
Aeson's half-brother, Pelias, seized the throne and threatened to kill the newborn Jason.
To protect him, Alcimede and Aeson sent the infant Jason to Mount Pelion, where he was entrusted to the wise Centaur Chiron.
