Jason and the Argonauts (1963).

Originally titled Jason and the Golden Fleece this fantasy film of Greek Gods and Goddesses follows Jason’s trials and tribulations as he quests to to find The Golden Fleece at the end of the earth.

Jason meets Greek God Hermes, who then takes him to Mount Olympas to speak with Zeus and Hera.

Goddess Hera helps guide Jason and the Argonauts through trecherous terrain and battles with classic stop-motion beasts and creatures. Hercules accompanies Jason for a short distance until the God’s turn him towards other purposes.

The magical, healing Golden Fleece of a winged ram said to be the offspring of Poseidon, is to be found hanging on a tree in Colchis.

The classic visual style of the 60′s is a delight in showcasing a number of Greek gods and goddesses, sets and design. Enjoy the film full of myth, magic and adventure.

    This is one of my favorite films about mythology.  Too bad the remake couldn’t live up to the original.
