| | Jason and the Argonauts |
 | | Jason was the son of King Aeson and rightful heir to the throne, but before he was born, his father's half brother Pelias had overthrown and imprisoned the king. |
| | Jason's mother pretended that he died at birth, but secretly gave him away to the centaur Chiron, who brought him up. |
| | Also included, of course, are the heroic mortals, figures such as Jason, Aeneas, Helen, Achilles, and Odysseus, all brought to life in a fascinating series of portraits drawn from a wide variety of ancient literary sources. |
