When Jason was a child, his father Aeson was overthrown by his brother Pelias forcing him to flee the city with Jason. When Jason had grown he went back to Iolcus to challenge his uncle Pelias for the kingship. On the way he helped an old woman across the river Anaurus and lost his other sandal. The woman revealed she was [[Hera]] and promised to give Jason her favor because Pelias did not honor her. An oracle had predicted to Pelias that he would be killed by a man who came to the city with only one sandal. He received Jason to his palace and persuaded him to go to Colchis and bring back the golden fleece of the ram that had taken his kinsman Phrixus there. Jason gathered a group of fifty heroes to go with him to Colchis, the greatest of them being [[Heracles]], [[Orpheus]], Castor and Polydeuces as well as Zetes and Calais, the winged sons of the north-wind Boreas and Argus, who constructed a large ship for them. It was named Argo after him, from which the heroes are called Argonauts.
