After a number of adventures, including the first passage of the Symplegades (the Bosphorus), the Argonauts arrived at Colchis, believed to be somewhere on the edge of the Black Sea. King Aeetes of Colchis demanded that Jason fulfill a number of tasks to obtain the fleece, including plowing a field with fire-breathing oxen, sowing the teeth of a dragon in a field and fighting the army that rose up from them, and finally defeating the dragon that guarded the fleece itself. With the fleece in hand, Jason fled with Aeetes' daughter Medea and had many adventures on the return journey. Medea engineered the death of King Pelias, fulfilling the old prophecy. When their marriage failed, Medea took a terrible revenge, killing their sons as well as Jason's new bride Creusa.

* Jason's in-game model wears only one sandal. This is a reference to the story of King Pelias, mentioned in the Mythology section, who was told by an oracle to "beware of the man wearing a single sandal". Jason lost a sandal while helping [[Hera]], who was disguised as an old woman, cross a river.

Gameplay

Like all Greek heroes, Theseus is strong against myth units and can hold his own against human soldiers as well. He is the first available hero for Poseidon so is crucial in fending off myth units early on, and for bagging early Relics.

Mythology

"◆ Age -- 32
 ◆ Homeland -- Athens
 ◆ Occupation -- King
The parentage of Theseus is confused. He was thought to be either an illegitimate son of Aegeus, a king of Athens, or a son of Poseidon. Raised by his mother, he faced many adversaries and quests while attempting to return to Athens to be reunited with his father. He was then selected to be part of a group of young men and women to be sacrificed to the Minotaur on Crete, as part of the compensation for a long war. On Crete, Ariadne fell in love with Theseus and helped him defeat the Minotaur within the labyrinth. He returned to Athens but failed to signal his success to his father correctly, and Aegeus drowned himself in despair. The sea thereafter took its name from Theseus's father, the Aegean Sea. Theseus foiled an assassination attempt and became king, but lost popularity late in life and was exiled."
