-
- I'll be the helmsman!
-
- No, I will be!
You've been helmsman the last time.
-
It's your turn to pull the sails.
- Where will we sail to?
-
- To the end of the world!
Give us, O Zeus, tailwind!
-
- What are you doing here?
-
-We...
- We herd goats.
-
- Do you know what ship this is?
- No.
-
All heroes of Hellas came
to Lolkos to build this ship.
-
"Argo" we called it, after it's
master-shipbuilder Argo.
-
The pride of Athene was there, the mighty Perseus.
-
The immortal Castor and his brother Pollux
-
And Boreas' children: Zetes and Kalais
-
The mellifluous Orpheus
-
And the mightiest amongst his equals: Heracles.
-
He decorated the bow with a statue of the Virgin of Pallas.
It was made of oak from the wood of Zeus.
-
I'm Jason and I was captain of the Argo.
-
It was something to see those people gathered in Lolkos.
-
The paddles (their number were ten) hit the water once
-
And the Argo rushed forward
and with it we, the Argonauts.
-
Our goal was to sail to the kingdom of Colchis.
-
Since long famous for it's Golden Fleece.
-
The one who would be the ruler of this treasure
-
would gain happiness and acquire power.
-
But most of all, is honest to say
-
most of all we wanted to have fun. Fresh air!
-
Waves! The ship carrying us to the edge of the unknown
-
We craved for adventures. We were young.
-
The sea got more rough
-
the Argo was headed for the rocks of Symplegades
which always move as if they are alive.
-
Forwards argonauts!
-
Later we fought with the Stimfalides
which have feathers sharp as a thousand edges
-
we were almost not able to cope
with the great numbers of birds.
-
Stop heroes of Hellas,
oarsmen of the high-speed Argo...
-
unless you don't see that this is the
Island of the Sirens that bears only death.
-
One needs to be afraid of the sly Sirens.
-
The inevitable charms of theirs songs ruin
the ships and seamen sailing towards them
-
We need to get away from here, Jason
-
He has come.
The prediction has come true.
-
I said all I came to say, king Aietes,
-
You're not by right
owner of the golden Fleece.
-
Give it to us.
It would only be fair.
-
Being fair is by destiny
a matter of the gods
-
Gods know best to whom grant fortune.
-
Jason, I'll grant you the Golden
Fleece only under one condition.
-
If you can bring my bulls under a yoke,
plow the field of Ares and then sow it...
-
I'm warrior, not a plowman!
-
but all right!
- I wish you success, strangers.
-
Await me tonight at the
temple of the goddess Gecata.
-
The daughter of king Aietes,
the black-eyed virgin Medea...
-
...was a sorceress.
She knew the secrets of water and fire.
-
To seize the bulls of king Aietes
is very difficulty.
-
Only the one whom has
inhaled the breath of Gecata.
-
becomes invincible to them.
-
I am choking, princess!
-
Be quiet and remember
When there will appear sprouts in the field ,
-
throw a stone in the middle of the field.
-
But stone will ruin the harvest
-
Be silent and do as I told you!
-
King, I ploughed the field.
It's now time to sow it.
-
What kind of grain is this?
Those are teeth of dragon, Jason.
-
Don't forget to throw
a stone in the middle of the field.
-
King, I've sowed the field.
Hand me over the golden fleece now.
-
Let's first await the harvest
-
Look, they're sprouting. The harvest is growing.
-
Jason!
-
King, I've carried out task.
-
No problem, the fleece is yours.
Go and take it. HA, HA.
-
Take it, it's yours
-
Jason, take me with you.
I can't return to father anymore.
-
King Aietes pursued us.
He had lost two treasures...
-
His daughter and the Golden Fleece.
-
He was determent to return both to Colchis.
-
Oh, master of the seas Poseidon!!!
I beg you please help me!!!
-
Rise heroes of the Hellas.
There is no time for grief
-
A long time the ship has served you. Now the
time has come you need to serve the ship
-
Carrying it with your hands
will be the key to your salvation.
-
The Golden Fleece was hung up
in the temple of the goddess of Athena
-
The ship "Argo", had been like a gift we received from Poseidon.
-
- And what happened then?
-
For me, Jason, there was no more "then".
-
We also want to become sailors
and discover new lands.
-
Obtain treasures...
We need only to repair the holes.
-
Here and here.
-
...and lay a new bottom.
-
Praise Zeus!
-
Once again the old "Argo" will plough the waves!
-
You sanctified anew our journey, oh Divine maiden Pallas.
-
Ah! He's dead!
-
Is it true that he re-established
the protection of the ship?
-
"You sanctified anew our journey, oh Divine maiden Pallas."
-
Aren't you afraid?
- No
-
The End
