Jason & the Argonauts: The Greek Myth That Wasn’t Greek
SUBSCRIBE TO INNERVERSE :iTunes | Youtube | Substack | Spotify | Rumble | Odysee | Patreon
Was Jason really a Greek hero? Was the Argonautica inherited from an older Etruscan or Egyptian tradition? And how much of what we call ancient history began as mythology written in the stars?
Chance Garton and Dylan Saccoccio investigate the strange provenance of Jason, the Argo and the Golden Fleece, beginning with the surviving Greek literary record. The trail leads into Etruria, where Hason / Heasun appears in artifacts and inscriptions, and into Egypt, where the celestial ship Argo presents an astronomical problem for a supposedly Greek origin. The episode traces the solar symbolism of the Golden Fleece, Aries and Ares, the “shepherd of the people” archetype, and the linguistic trail connecting Jason, Hason, Esus and the Greek name translated as Jesus.
