The story of Jason is fairly long and complex, so I'll paraphrase. A long time ago, there was a kid named Jason due to be born any day. Meanwhile, his father was killed, and the throne was usurped by his killer. Jason would've been next, but his mother stashed him in the forest. Several years later, he came back to regain the throne. The king said that he would give up the throne to him if he could retrieve the Golden Fleece. Jason scrounged up some comrades, and set off. After passing numerous obstacles, they made it to the place where the fleece was kept. The king of that place made him do a lot of additional tasks, but Jason also managed to get the king's daughter to fall in love with him, partly because of the influence of Aphrodite. With the daughter 's help, he stole the fleece and headed home. Once he got home, he took the throne, and dumped the daughter. She was understandingly furious, and probably killed him.

This entire story involves the concept of revenge, with a side of love. Jason sets out to reclaim his throne, and avenge his father's death. Along the way, he did pick up a love interest, but ditched her like yesterday's fish once he got back. She, then, got revenge by killing him.
