History Characters / JasonAndTheArgonauts

* AdaptationalHeroism: Hera is traditionally a [[JerkassGods Jerkass Goddess]] and EvilMatriarch to the world of mortals. Here she has none of this, and she is determined to help Jason find the Golden Fleece and reclaim his throne.

->'''Played by:''' Patrick Troughton

* ImplacableMan: They seemingly can't be stopped using conventional weapons, so the only solution is to flee them. Apparently they can't swim.

* ScreamingWarrior: Oddly enough, they scream while charging Jason and the two Argonauts fighting alongside him despite having no vocal chords.

* HumbleHero: He is the gods' favorite and could ask whatever he wants from them (although it's not clear if Zeus would grant him this or not), but doesn't make a big deal of this and keeps asking Hera only when he has no other choice.

* AntiVillain: Sure he stands in Jason's way to obtain the Golden Fleece and regain his rightful kingdom, but not out of any overt malice. Rather, as a king he has a responsibility to his people and their well-being and Jason's quest is a threat to that.

A young man who, like Hercules, arrived too late to participate in the games Jason organized to recruit his Argonauts. He still earns a place in the crew, by challenging then beating Hercules at discus throw.

* DeathByAdaptation: In the original myth, Hylas was kidnapped by a nymph who fell in love with him. Here, he's crushed by Talos' body as the bronze giant collapses.

* BeardOfEvil: He is the main enemy Jason has to face in the final act, and sports a Babylonian-ish beard.

* LivingStatue: She talks to Jason and eventually the whole Argo's crew through the Argo's figurehead, which has been placed on the stern by Argus. Only the statue's eyelids are animated when she talks, however.

* {{Sizeshifter}}: The gods are giant enough to hold humans in their hands, and they can shift their size to that of a human or grow back. He demonstrates it when revealing his true nature to Jason.

* {{Combat Pragmatist}}s: They're not above fighting dirty, mortally wounding Castor in his stomach by surprise as he's about to climb on a wall, which causes him to fall and die.

Skeletons of ancient warriors which are raised by King Aeëtes using the powers of the goddess Hecate and the magical properties of the dead Hydra's teeth.

* SorcerousOverlord: He is the evil ruler of Colchis, and knows [[AnimateDead necromancy]], at the very least.

[[folder: Children of the Hydra]]

Skeletons of ancient warriors which are raised by King Aeëtes using the powers of Hecate and the magical properties of the dead Hydra's teeth.

* {{Combat Pragmatist}}s: One of them fights dirty, mortally wounding Castor in his stomach by surprise as he's about to climb on a wall, which causes him to fall and die.

* OffWithHisHead: Jason decapitates one of them. The headless skeleton is not seen afterwards, so it isn't known if cutting their head off could work to get rid of them permanently. Jason prefers opting for a dive off the cliff into the sea.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Hera says the gods have plans for Hercules when he leaves the Argonauts to look for Hylas on the Isle of Bronze. It's most certainly a reference to his his battle at Troy and the battle with the giants.
