Meet the Argonauts! - Jason & the Golden Fleece

Turns out drawing over 50 characters, most of whom will not do anything important, is a tedious process. Greek mythology is fun.

CLASSICAL SOURCES:

I like how everybody got a more mythologically and historically accurate design, but Heracles is still just a buff dude in lion pants

[birdmcturd]

“Nobody calls Apollo a twink! Even if it is true..”

Accurate to Greek Gods

[vivianphillips]

*Raises hand* "Mr. Doubleyoo, do we have to know all the 53 Argonauts' names for the test?"

[Monkeynugget-pmwr]

I love how the video is 1/3 just explaining who they are

[blecis]

My reaction to hearing voices that aren’t Jake’s: WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!

[itta]

Honestly, I love how the characters look different, showing the different regions and their culture. Jake's really grown

[Wolfiyeethegranddukecerberus]

It still feels weird that everyone isn't voiced by Jake anymore. Like every time I hear a non-Jake voice I get jumpscared a little. Still support it tho

[StarsongtheFairyHostess]

I love how Heracles legit followed the dialogue in the epic! I read along his voice to the text at the top of the screen!

[darklordkage]

Pretty sure Atalanta was left off the Argo not because of any sexist notion and more because Jason knew what would happened if ONE woman was left on a crew full of pent up testosterone fueld male heroes, stuck at sea for weeks at a time.

[GrimAndGrams]

This story always blew my mind because Jason is accompanied by heroes who have braved dangers far more grandiose than he does - but they just never use them at all. HERACLES is in there, and he doesn't even do much!

Like every good Greek myth, this video is half just naming names and their lineages. I love the designs, your long hours in the art mines were not in vain

[rachel_sj]

“53 heroes to be exact…whom I will have to draw all of, I guess”

And I thought *my* drawing work took up a lot of my time (*cue sitcom laugh track*)

[HTFWSFWWE]

That "God of Twinks" line damn near killed me! 🤣

[Glace_cakes]

I’d feel bad for Jason if I didn’t know how this ends.

[johnclough]

I love how the end just emphasizes Chiron’s role in every Greek hero’s backstory as the shared childhood mentor/bootcamp instructor

[fresianabi]

1:50 it's so cute how Heracles blushes

[teodorambros]

The quality of your work got to an unthinkable level. The research behind it, the design choices and the narrative excution is making this greek myth feel both faithful to the classic and immersive for a modern audience 👏

[foxinaboxy]

The argonauts are basically the Avengers of Greek myths. It's the team up movie after they had their own introduction movie and before they had their sequel.

[jasonthejazzman]

Hearing a voice that isn't Jake's shook me to my core and I fear I may never recover

[mcpopcorn]

I like that everyone turned to heracles to take command since even listening to this story 3000 years later heracles is the obvious choice
