    In both cases Jason is successful in retrieving the Fleece for his journey to become rightful king, but different in the way that Medea is portrayed and how the Fleece is actually obtained. The stylistic change to have Medea become a lesser character in this scene is done so often and in a time where men and women are not always represented as equals this film choose to have Jason be a hero. To show Jason as the typical hero the film has Jason kill the monster. This choice also makes for an interesting fight scene in the film and could be another reason as to why they choose to change this part of the original…

    During his sixth labor, the driving away of the plague-like Stymphalian birds, he is assisted by the goddess Athena, who shoos the birds out of their hiding places while Hercules shoots them down with arrows (Hamilton 232), a scene somewhat reminiscent of the Hero Twins firing off their arrows at Yeitso ("Changing" 45). Hercules is helped immensely, at least at first, in obtaining the girdle of the queen of the Amazons (his ninth labor), as she offers it to him freely. Unfortunately, Hera's temper gets the best of her again, and she makes the Amazons think Hercules is kidnapping their queen, leading not to his demise, but to that of the generous Amazon queen (and, likely, many of her subjects) as he fights to get away with his prize (Hamilton…

    When they were full the men asked to take more cheese and leave, but Odysseus refused wanting to meet their host and get a guest gift. They waited for the cyclops to return to his cave. When the cyclops returned, Odysseus and his men hid, but the cyclops saw their shadows in the light of the fire. Odysseus demanded a guest gift or else feel the wrath of Zeus. The guest gift they received was quite unexpected, the cyclops swooped down and grabbed two of Odysseus' men, killed them then ripped them limb from limb and ate them. Clever as he was, Odysseus offered the cyclops some of the finest wine he had. The wine put the cyclops to sleep after a few cups, then Odysseus stabbed him in the eye with a steak he had sharpened. Angered, the cyclops sat in front of the door waiting for Odysseus and his men to try to leave. Odysseus keenly hid his men and himself on the underbelly of the flock and waited until morning. When the flock left their pens to pasteurize Odysseus and his men left along with them. They ran back to their ship and set sail, Odysseus taunting the ugly…

    Medea - Protagonist of the play, Medea's homeland is Colchis, an island in the Black Sea, which the Greeks considered the edge of the earth--a territory of barbarians. A sorceress and a princess, she used her powers and influence to help Jason secure the Golden Fleece; then, having fallen in love with him, she fled her country and family to live with Jason in Iolcus, his own home. During the escape across the Mediterranean, she killed her brother and dumped him overboard, so that her pursuers would have to slow down and bury him. While in Iolcus, she again used her devilish cleverness to manipulate the daughters of the local king and rival, Pelias, into murdering their own father. Exiled as murderers, Jason and Medea settled in Corinth, the…
