Jason The Hero

Jason I think really fits into the cycle of the hero but I think it happens in a different order but i also don't remember him getting any kind blessing that can get the shape of a wizard of any kind. The only thing I think was close to blessing that Jason got was being trained by Chiron, which was a good help for Jason because he needed his training skills on his journey. Jason faces many challenges on his journey such as evil sorcerers, monsters and many other challenges which are included in the cycle of the hero. I think that they represent all of them very well except Jason his strength is different in some of them making Jason different sometimes but I guess thats the way it is because no one really knows what happened to Jason and all of his companions. They were also very dependent on each other, when in other myths I heard they are sometimes a bit careless. I think the journey of Jason and the Argonauts because the ship was said to be real and could sail, I don't think the golden fleece is real because it doesn't sound very realistic but i do think the journey is real.
