'''Hercules''' was the son of [[Zeus]], the king of the gods, and the mortal woman Alcmena. Possessing great strength, he was constantly tormented by Zeus' goddess wife, [[Hera]], who sought to have him killed to blot out the reminder of Zeus' infidelity. Even as an infant two snakes were sent to kill Hercules in his crib, but instead he strangled them with his great strength. Hera later made Hercules insane so that he killed his family, and, once he recovered his sanity, planned to commit suicide until [[Theseus]] convinced him not to. [[Image:Hercules.jpg|Hercules fights against a lion|thumb]] The legends of Hercules are many, including his Twelve Labors, and his eventual death due to poison through trickery and his killing of a lion. Hercules has become a major part of western culture and has had TV shows based on the character as well as many movies. The Hercules of mythology is often more savage and his character more unstable than what is usually shown in these adaptations.

'''Jason''' was a person from [[pagan]] Greek mythology. He sailed (on his ship the Argo with [[Hercules]] and [[Orpheus]] and the other Argonauts) to Colchis to retrieve the [[Golden Fleece]]. King Aeetes of Colchis assigned Jason several tasks he had to perform before he could retrieve the Golden Fleece; these tasks were supposed to be imposible, but King Aeetes’s daughter [[Medea]] had fallen in love with Jason so she aided him in the tasks. With Medea’s aid (Medea was a powerful [[witch]] as well as being a princess), Jason won the Golden Fleece and he and Medea were married and he had two children by her. Later in his life, he [[divorce]]d Medea so he could marry King Creon's daughter; in revenge for this betrayal Medea killed Jason’s new bride and both of the children she had by him, leaving him to mourn their loss. <ref>Encyclopedia Mythica[http://www.pantheon.org/articles/j/jason.html]</ref> [[Jason]] is also a [[Christian name]] for a boy.
