March 12, 2021: Jason and the Argonauts (1963) (Part One)

I am so goddamn excited for this one.

Back to Greek mythology, my first mythological love! And not just Greek mythology, because this...THIS...this is the first true Avengers story. Oh, yeah, like The Avengers.

After all, mythology produced the first equivalent of our modern superheroes, with demigods and legends that wield fantastic abilities and powerful items to fight the forces of evil. I mean, it’s the most superhero thing I can think of, and it’s literally a story as old as time. Fact of the matter is, I love superheroes, and I love mythology. Which is why I’m excited to finally see an adaptation of one of the biggest superhero team-up stories ever: Jason and the Argonauts!

See, it all starts with Hera, queen of the Olympians and petty as FUCK.

See, the newly (and wrongfully) ascended king of Iolcus, Pelias, honored the gods after stealing the throne from his brother. Well, all of the gods except Hera. So, Hera, rightfully pissed off, decides to fuck Pelias over by recruiting his nephew, Jason. Jason’s a naturally hot blonde kid who was raised by the centaur Chiron, also making him wise...theoretically.

Hera tests this kid, and he passes, so she gives him her favor, and tells him to fuck up his uncle. Jason arrives in Iolcus, and demands the throne from Pelias. His uncle agrees, IF he can bring back the Golden Fleece, a legendary treasure that is guarded by a vicious monster and a zealous king. Pelias didn’t think Jason had any chance, but Jason had the gods on his side. They sent their best subjects to his aid, and Jason procured an awesome ship, the Argo. So, who’s coming to help? Oh, you ready for this? ARGONAUTS ASSEMBLE

Now there are anywhere between 46-85 heroes that are assembled in the Argonauts, with different members in different iterations of the myth. But the big members are:

Heracles, son of Zeus, with the strength of a thousand men

Orpheus, son of the muse Calliope, and master musician

Calais and Zetes, sons of the North Wind, with the ability to fly upon it

Atalanta, the swift-footed huntress, and only female member

Castor and Pollux, twin half-brothers (yeah, really) and horse-riders

Theseus, son of Poseidon, and slayer of the Minotaur

Tip of the iceberg there, but you get the point: we’ve got a superhero team on our hands! And these heroes would perform MANY great deeds on their journey to the Fleece. They fought the Harpies to defend an oracle, they passed the dangerous Clashing Rocks, they battled the Stymphalian Birds, with feathers of metal. Sirens, fire-breathing bulls, and a giant bronze man named Talos.

Different one. Eventually, they procured the Golden Fleece on the island of Colchis, where they fought a dragon with a help of the young sorceress (and niece of Circe), Medea. She fell in love with Jason, and the two fled the island, married, and had twins. Only for Medea to reveal herself as a stone-cold sociopath, and only for Jason to ditch her for another woman. That goes...VERY badly for Jason. Breaking off his marriage pisses off Hera, THE GODDESS OF MARRIAGE, and he dies sad and alone after Medea does...Medea does a lot, I’ll just leave it at that. Jason, completely fucked at that point, takes a nap at the foot of the now rotting Argo, which collapses on top of him and kills him.

For the record, I truncated that story A LOT. There’s a lot to it, but I have a movie to watch, goddamit! And I’m really excited because this is my first Harryhausen movie! You know, Ray Harryhausen, one of the early greats of practical special effects in film? A specialist in stop-motion from its earliest days, he revolutionizes the art throughout films in the 1950s and 1960s, with this one being one of the most successful. You’ve definitely seen his influence, from stuff that he’s done directly...

...to those inspired by him and his methodology...

...to the arts that were descended indirectly from his groundbreaking effects.

Oh yeah, I’m fucking GOING THERE. Fun fact: Ray Winston Studios, a stop-motion group active during the ‘80s and ‘90s, and a descendant of Harryhausen’s works, were originally going to do the animation for the dinosaurs in this movie, in Claymation. However, the recent advent of advanced animatronics, alongside ILM’s founding, caused them to take some of those principles, and apply them to CGI and animatronics. So, yeah, I’m claiming an indirect connection here!

Anyway, enough being a nerd, LET’S WATCH THE GODDAMN MOVIE! SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Recap (1/2)

As the bombastic and epic score plays, the credits role of a Greek-style fresco, detailing the various adventures of the Argonauts. And before the movie starts, I come to a realization: there is a high chance that I’m going to hate this movie’s inaccuracies to Greek mythology. It’s not impossible. I’m real persnickety about my mythology adaptations, just warning you all now. I’ll probably get into it in this Recap, too. Full goddamn warning.

We begin with a seer, reading the future for the treacherous Pelias (Douglas Witmer). He sees first a Golden Fleece at the end of the world, but Pelias ignores this, and asks of his upcoming conquest of the kingdom of...Thessaly. Not, uh...not Iolcus. Mmmkay.

The seer fortells that Pelias will seize the throne, by force, from his brother and the king of Thessaly...Aristo...not Aeson. OK then. The seer says that he will be successful, but will eventually fall to one of Aristo’s kids, who will take his throne. He has two daughters, Philomena and Briseis, and one son, Jason. Looks like they’re gonna die, too.

The invasion begins! Amongst the chaos, Briseis (Davina Taylor) takes her baby sister, Philomena, into the temple of Hera, and pleads to her for her protection. However, they’re found by Pelias, who asks who she is. He’s interrupted by a priestess of Hera, who claims that the Queen Goddess has answered the girl’s prayer for protection.

Pelias responds in kind.

Well...I’m sure that’s gonna piss off Hera. He claims it to be the will of Zeus, but she states that it is his will, not Zeus’. The gods have abandoned him, and he will one day fall to a one-sandaled man, Jason. And as the woman reveals this...she disappears. Nice. FUCKIN’ NICE.

This “priestess” is Hera (Honor Blackman), of course. She goes to her husband, Zeus (Niall MacGinnis), and asks if he ordered Pelias to destroy and profane her temple. He says no, as that was Pelias’ attempt to stave off his inevitable fall by Jason. However, Jason has escaped Pelias’ wrath, as has his sister Philomena. Hera decided, however, that she wants to take down Pelias, and Jason is the best was for that to happen. Hence, she wishes to sponsor Jason.

However, Zeus, being the classic misogynist, says that he will allow it, but she may only help Jason 5 times, once for each time that the fallen Briseis prayed to her. She agrees, and waits 20 years to start fuckin’ with Pelias. Pelias, meanwhile, is growing more paranoid over the one-sandaled man prophecy that Hera gave him.

One day, on the bank of a river, Hera appears to make Pelias fall off of his horse into the river. He’s saved from drowning by a young man, who loses his sandal in the process. This is, of course, Jason (Todd Armstrong), who was already on his way to see Pelias for some reason.

For the record, this is an adaptation of the original story, in which Hera disguises herself as an old beggar-woman, and Jason proves himself to her by helping her across the river, after which she gives him her favor. To be honest, I like this a bit more, or at least as much.

Pelias brings Jason back to a camp for a celebration, with him as an honored guest. Jason reveals exactly who he is, and that he was raised outside of the city by one of his father’s loyal soldiers. He has come to reclaim his right place as king of Thessaly, and to restore it to it’s rightful glory. However, Pelias hasn’t revealed himself as king, and asks Jason how he plans to accomplish these feats. Jason replies with his ultimate plan: obtain the Golden Fleece.

Here’s the deal about the Golden Fleece. One of the most legendary items in Greek mythology, the fleece is essentially a symbol of royalty, and is the coat of a ram with wings found on the island of Colchis. Now, the meaning of the fleece has long been debated, with the main consensus stating that it’s a symbol of royalty. However, some claim that it’s a symbol of prosperous farming (golden grains of wheat), the forgiveness of the gods for some unknown deed, Zeus in the form of a ram, or simply the promise of the unknown at the edge of the world.

What it DEFINITELY ISN’T is a magical healing garment, as Jason claims it to be. But OK, whatever, we need a good reason to get the Fleece, sure. Pelias, not revealing himself, says that Jason should try to get the Fleece, with a boat and a crew, and bring it back to Thessaly, returning and killing Pelias in order to take the throne. Of course, Pelias thinks that this is impossible, which he says to his son Acastus (Gary Raymond). He also knows that if he kills Jason, he it will mean his own destruction, as Hera told him.

Jason goes to ponder this journey, only to encounter the seer. The seer asks if he has come to pray to the gods, to which Jason states that he doesn’t believe in them, nor does he have cause to. The seer offers to give him that cause, and reveals himself as Hermes (Michael Gwynn), the swift-footed messenger god, god of medicine, and trickster god of the Olympians.

Hermes isn’t usually directly involved in the myths of Jason, but that’s OK. He also does something particularly unusual, and brings Jason TO Olympus to meet the Gods themselves. Which, uh...yeah, hot damn. Zeus and the rest arranged for Hermes to bring Jason to them. They ask how they can help him on his quest. Zeus offers him a ship and crew, but Jason refuses, much to the gall of EVERYBODY.

Hera helps him by telling him where to find the Golden Fleece: the island of Colchis, at the other end of the world. To get there, though, Jason’ll DEFINITELY need a ship. He decides to go to the shipbuilders of Greece, and tell them that great treasure lies on Colchis, and they may receive some for their aid. As for the crew, he’s got a similar tactic. Offer the reward to the athletes and heroes of Greece, who will compete in games to determine their eligibility.

Not from the original myths...but it actually makes a lot of sense. Goddamn, is this going to be a good adaptation? I’m excited! The games are held, and many athletes win their place on the journey. They include: Castor and Pollux (Ferdinando Poggi and John Crawford), Acastus, and of course, Heracles (Nigel Green). And yeah, he’s called Hercules here, but I don’t care.

When Hercules arrives, this grabs the attention of the young Hylas (John Caimey), who arrived to late to compete in the games. He challenges Heracles to something, believing that beating Heracles in something will guarantee him a place on the ship.

While everyone mocks this, Heracles agrees to go up against him in a discus-throwing contest. They must hit or pass a rock in the ocean by throwing their discus. Heracles hits it easily, of course. And the frail Hylas...

...Nice. Did not see that coming, and that’s actually very smart. Also takes a lot of skill, because I could NOT do that. Hylas wins his place in the ship, to the delight of both the crowd and the Olympians. And yes, Hylas actually is a companion of Heracles in the original stories, so that’s neat!

Now for the boat, being built by master builder Argus (Laurence Naismith), who is coming on the ship with them. He notes that something appears to have guided his hand during the ship’s construction. In the original myth, that would be Athena. However, here, it’s probably Hera, as the figurehead is specifically carved in her image. And is also...alive?

Well...to be fair, in many myths, the ship contains wood built from a magical tree that could speak, and see the future. So, OK, magic ship, fair enough. Well, hopefully, that ship’s guidance will happen soon, as the voyage immediately proves difficult. No water, no rest, and frustrated men.

Jason asks the figurehead for help (which would be help #3) and Hera speaks through it to tell Jason to head to the Isle of Bronze, where Hephaestus once had his forge. However, the island is lorded over by a powerful something called Talos. I know what Talos is, but the movie hasn’t revealed him yet.

The Argo makes its way to the island, and the men head ashore to get food and water. They see goats there, which will provide them both food and drink, and Heracles and Hylas chase after them for just that aim. And that’s when they blunder into a giant bronze statuary, lorded over by the statue of Talos.

The two enter a chamber in the statue’s base, which is filled to the brim with gold and treasure. However, Jason warned the men of the Argo not to take anything from the island but food and water. Hylas remembers this, but Heracles doesn’t care, and takes a golden staff from the chamber. And Talos...Talos doesn’t appreciate that.

Oh, that’s a great place to take a break! See you in Part Two!

( reposted from my about page in a reblogabble form w/ formatting changes. if you find the formatted version visually difficult or irritating to read, the unformatted version is on callie’s about page! this & callie’s page will be updated as i learn more things about my muse. )

+ HISTORY

calliope armstrong was born four minutes after her twin brother, castor, on june 21, 2237 to zeus & astra armstrong. at birth, she failed her newborn hearing screening & was recommended for more tests. while she passed the additional screenings, her parents were advised to keep an eye on her as she grew up. it was not much a surprise when, a few years later, it was discovered that she was developing a slight hearing loss. her father zeus had experienced a similar course of events when he was young, & there was a history of hearing loss on both sides of the family.

while technological advancements could help restore part of her hearing loss, her parents opted not to. zeus had grown up in the Deaf community & he knew that his daughter would succeed even with what the world would view as a disability. in fact, calliope never once felt disadvantaged. there was always a sense of security surrounding her family & her life.

from birth, her parents had taught her & her brothers sign language, giving them language skills which would help them with learning to read & write. while it did take her some extra practice when learning to speak orally, she was never far behind her peers.

throughout her schooling, calliope was consistently at the top of her class, tied with cas. they even graduated high school together at age 15. it was then that they went their separate ways. they got into the same universities, but they decided that it was time for some independence. they attended equally prestigious universities on opposite sides of the countries, but remained in near constant contact.

calliope entered an accelerated medical program which allowed her to graduate at the age of 21. but it was at that point another big decision needed to be made. she had to figure out where she wanted to do her residency. inspired by her twin’s fascination with outer space, she applied to starfleet academy.

after graduating from starfleet, she was assigned to the u.s.s. enterprise. now, she is working through her clinical residency under the supervision of chief medical officer leonard mccoy.

+ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

calliope’s high intellect & hearing loss made it a little difficult for her to connect with her hearing classmates. while she had a few friends, her best friend was cas, who always stood up for his sister when their peers were unkind to her. he helped her fill in the blanks when she missed things in conversation that no one else would explain. because of her dependence on her brother, she still has a bit of trouble with some pragmatics in social situations.

she also tends to see the good in people, which perhaps makes her a bit naive. because she tries not to judge people too harshly, she often ends up emotionally hurt in one way or another by people who treat her poorly.

+ HEARING LOSS RELATED

calliope has "moderate" hearing loss in both of her ears. below is a visualization of what it looks like. the red is the right ear & the blue is the left. along the horizontal axis is frequency ( pitch ). going from left to right is going from low pitches to high pitches. the vertical axis is volume. from top to bottom is from low volume to high volume.

with this degree of hearing loss, calliope finds it somewhat difficult to understand speech without her hearing aids. if you talk to her at a normal conversational volume when she doesn't have them on, your voice will sound muffled & unclear to her.

in one on one conversations with little background noise, calliope can understand you well with her hearing aids. however, in groups or environments with lots of background noise, she has much more trouble.

if you’re interested in what her hearing loss might sound like, go here & listen to the different situations with "moderate."

additionally, calliope frequently experiences tinnitus which is ringing in the ears. however, when she is bothered by her tinnitus, it sounds more like roaring than ringing. it gives her headaches at times, which forces her to sit & take a break until it lets up a bit.

& finally, if you're interested, her hearing aids look like this, but they're a beige color. since they're so small, it's almost unnoticeable that she's wearing them.

First Spacecraft In The Room To First Male On The Moon.

NASA has signed a shared claim along with its Russian equivalent to work together on a future spaceport orbiting the moon phoned Deep Area Entrance. You will don't forget from the moon post that a full moon takes place every pair of weeks. Homeowners in the Channelside area live in one of numerous beautiful as well as reasonably new condominium towers, like the Platforms from Channelside. Yet divinities of magnifying need to uncover its own tiny, rounded disk sporting a stunning deep-blue color. Be sure you are giving your kid a standard table area to strenghtvitality-onlineblog.info use. I want Moon Dough would possess booted up a notch and also offer the set with ziplock bags instead of tear available bags. It is actually very aesthetically stunning with attractive and also bright colours while telling a wholehearted tale. Neil Armstrong came down on Moon this was actually victory of Millennium, this will be actually the first fabulous in space past history. A spectacular landscape from ruts, fissures as well as stony mounds, walking throughout the Burren has been compared to walking on the moon. I will certainly desire to read that. Moon Concept confirms that he may do anything what he would like to but he will always remember a poems. Every combination as well as facet of the Moon ought to be examined by indication and also residences. The Hong Kong customer quickly renamed this Heaven Moon of Josephine", Bennett told press reporters, noting that this had actually likewise prepared a globe record for any jewel at more than $4 million per carat. This design of the inside of Solar system's icy moon Enceladus reveals how cold water seeping in to the moon's center may be heated up as well as transported upward with its below ground ocean, prompting the moon's famous jets. Last but not least, if clouds conceal your perspective of the moon and also Jupiter on Sunday, do not stress. The cleansing electricity tops at the moment from the brand new moon (not obvious at all). For girls: Calliope (' the muse of verse'), Cassandra, Chandra (' the moon which outshines the stars'), Chantrea (' moonbeam'), Celeste, Ceiridwen, Celosia (' burning fire'), Calista (' very most beautiful of women'), Caera, Calantha. Well, since the moon finishes one central turning simultaneously is actually finishes 1 track around the Earth, our company just get to view one side. A sunshine and also moon tattoo design may have a different account for each individual, as well as every design should possess its personal account. That is actually why chaos and mind problems are actually believed to be worsened in the full moon days. The date of Easter depends on the very first full moon after the fresh equinox on March 21. Easter might be noted in Western side congregations between March 22 as well as April 25 every year.

While most of us have a lot more to worry about compared to just how our bosoms appear, it behaves to know several of the many things our company could currently perform, like moisturizing on a regular basis, actually make a distinction.

Some of the area's very most marvelous seaside rides is to Pigeon Point Watchtower, which assesses an enormous 115 feets and is located 20 miles south of Half Moon Bay. Going back to some of the greatest news headings of the last many years, be this the moon touchdown or even the 9/11 assaults or perhaps the loss of the Berlin Wall surface each one possesses a striking graphic that keeps in people's moment.
