Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.43,0:00:23.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who could hurtle through the air.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.87,0:00:27.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For untold times \Nthese heroes had roamed ancient Greece,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.86,0:00:30.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,creating new legends wherever they went.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.42,0:00:34.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But none of their adventures \Nwas so great as when they joined forces
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.82,0:00:38.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the sake of a young man named Jason.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.06,0:00:39.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Years before,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.22,0:00:42.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Jason’s uncle Pelias \Nhad ruthlessly usurped
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.04,0:00:45.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the throne of Thessaly \Nfrom Jason’s grandfather.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.46,0:00:48.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When Jason returned \Nto his father’s stolen court,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.50,0:00:52.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the cowardly king \Nset him a seemingly impossible task:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.62,0:00:55.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cross the teeming seas to Colchis,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.24,0:00:58.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and steal \Nthe golden fleece of a flying ram
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.56,0:01:00.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,under King Aeetes’ nose.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.90,0:01:03.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If Jason retrieved the Fleece,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.15,0:01:06.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pelias promised to relinquish the throne.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.42,0:01:08.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Touched by his heroic mission,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.20,0:01:10.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Gods spread Jason’s call for help,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.86,0:01:14.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and soon \Nhe had assembled a not-so-motley crew.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.50,0:01:15.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These heroes,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.52,0:01:19.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,alongside countless sailors,\Nsoothsayers, and rebel demigods,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.87,0:01:23.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,named themselves \Nthe Argonauts after their sturdy ship.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.86,0:01:27.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the path ahead \Nwas marked with untold terrors–
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.86,0:01:31.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,enough to test even the fiercest heroes.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.65,0:01:33.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Their first stop was Lemnos,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.77,0:01:37.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an isle of women \Nwho had killed all the island’s men.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.99,0:01:39.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As punishment,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.13,0:01:42.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Aphrodite had cursed them\Nwith a sickening stench–
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.34,0:01:46.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that didn’t stop Jason \Nfathering twins with the queen.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.31,0:01:50.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The rest of the crew also found themselves\Nembroiled in new romances;
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.73,0:01:55.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until Hercules chastised them \Nfor not behaving like heroes.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.94,0:01:59.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Eventually, \Nthey sailed on to the Mount of Bears,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.07,0:02:02.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an island where a group of ancient, \Nsix-armed monsters
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.71,0:02:06.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lived alongside the peaceful Doliones.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.09,0:02:09.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,While the clan welcomed \Nthe Argonauts with open arms,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.16,0:02:12.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the monsters surged down \Nfrom the mountains
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.19,0:02:15.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and hurled rocks at the docked ship.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.66,0:02:18.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hercules held them off single-handedly,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.15,0:02:20.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before his comrades joined the fray.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.57,0:02:25.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Bolstered by their victory, \Nthe triumphant heroes sailed onward–
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.24,0:02:29.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,only to be blown back \Nto the island several stormy nights later.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.67,0:02:30.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the tempest,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.68,0:02:34.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Doliones \Nthought these new arrivals invaders.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.43,0:02:37.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Argonauts were similarly unaware \Nof their surroundings,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.90,0:02:42.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and fought blunderingly in the dark, \Nslaying wave after wave of foe.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.48,0:02:45.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the morning light \Nrevealed a horrible truth:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.93,0:02:50.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their victims \Nwere none other than their previous hosts.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.59,0:02:51.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yet again,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.34,0:02:54.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Jason had allowed the crew \Nto be distracted,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.33,0:02:56.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this time at a terrible cost.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.73,0:02:58.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ashamed at his conduct,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.12,0:03:01.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he resolved \Nto focus only on the Fleece,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.14,0:03:04.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but even this haste proved ruinous.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.22,0:03:07.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When Hercules’ squire \Nwas abducted by a water nymph,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.62,0:03:09.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Jason sailed on–
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.19,0:03:13.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,oblivious to the absence \Nof his most powerful crewmate.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.96,0:03:16.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The remaining Argonauts \Ncontinued their quest,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.69,0:03:18.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until stopping at the sight
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.16,0:03:22.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of an old man \Nsurrounded by a swirl of harpies.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.91,0:03:26.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This was Phineas, \Na seer cursed by Zeus
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.58,0:03:30.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to endure \Nold age, blindness, and endless torture
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.72,0:03:33.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for giving away \Nhis prophecies.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.50,0:03:37.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Moved by his plight, \Nthe wind brothers set upon the flock,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.18,0:03:40.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,providing Phineas \Nwith a brief respite from his punishment.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.41,0:03:41.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In return,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.96,0:03:47.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the seer told them how to overcome\Nthe terrifying trial that lay ahead:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.07,0:03:48.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Symplegades,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.61,0:03:53.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a pair clashing rocks \Nthat reduced ships to splinters.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.44,0:03:54.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But first,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.34,0:03:58.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Argonauts would have to maneuver \Npast the mouth of hell,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.11,0:04:01.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around the island \Nof the bloodthirsty Amazons,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.25,0:04:04.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and under psychedelic skies.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.09,0:04:07.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These adventures cost the crew \Nboth in men and morale–
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.85,0:04:11.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and some feared \Nthey might be losing their minds.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.50,0:04:16.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Upon reaching the clashing rocks, \Nthe exhausted crew quaked with fear.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.43,0:04:19.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But Phineas’ advice rang in their heads.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.51,0:04:21.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Argonauts released a single dove
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.95,0:04:26.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and sped through in its wake \Nto emerge unscathed.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.10,0:04:27.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With this narrow escape,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.80,0:04:31.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Argonauts \Nfinally had Colchis in their sights.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.50,0:04:34.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yet while Jason rested \Nand celebrated with his crew,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.94,0:04:38.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he could feel his time \Namong them was drawing to a close.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.77,0:04:40.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As the fleece gleamed in his mind,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.85,0:04:43.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he knew \Nhe would have to retrieve it alone.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.80,0:04:46.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he could not guess \Nthat this final task
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.98,0:04:50.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would have the most horrible price of all.
