Jason's Trial for the Golden Fleece || Mythology with Dael Kingsmill

[@animistchannel2983]

Still liking this style. We can see why the bards had to memorize the tales so carefully, because distractions from the villagers and digressions to explain the connections. We can get dry word-for-word from a book if we want that, but I think this is more fun.

[@robertma6068]

This looks sooooooo fun! Presenting in front of friends. I've done presentations at the local library a lot, but this is even more so a good vibe going here.

It's very nice that you let the moon herself tell us this story, Dael

[@ravenjoker254]

I have, like, nothing witty to say. Tell hi to your mum!

Also having come this far into the golden fleece saga, I think you've found a groove with your family, I like it more.

[@Huw_Morgan]

It's great that you pick up on all the pieces of the myth, so we get the crazy tangents as well as the usual story. Also: excellent Funnybones/Harryhausen t-shirt reference.

[@alexanderlundberg5644]

Jason is clearly the best at getting help. Did he even do a single thing by himself? Medea, on the other hand, was super resourceful.

[@leviphipps2462]

When you're leading a quest, it's important you know how to delegate.

[@Jenkstudio97]

Jason was an escort quest npc

[@ShadWickBrand]

Hi Dael, absolutely love the content. I found the sound on this one to be a bit low.

[@AaronLovegren]

Love this format for presenting.

[@StubbornProgrammer]

Aw yeah more mythology sketches!

[@michaelsommers2356]

That shirt always makes me think of the Sherlock Holmes Dancing Men story.

[@alarin612]

Good call. It's a great story.

[@xAo2xSmurf]

Oh, my, God... I love you.

[@Alefiend]

Bonus family participation! I liked this approach, but it's the sort of thing that should be done only occasionally.

[@qirat73]

Nice spooky shirt for spooktober

[@Jeromy1986]

Yes! Eros is my favorite! 😃

[@fastballfacts]

Myths are good!

[@Fantafaust]

If you see a faded sign on the side of the road that says "Ut Aphrodite's" LOOOOOVE SHAAAAAAAAACK

[@Marcusjnmc]

ty for the story & looking beautiful btw

[@crows2808]

Didn't Medea chop her brother to bits and scatter those bits on the wind in order to lose the pursuit? I don't remember how it worked, but it did scar me enough to remember that much.

[@jamesjosephlister]

Robert N'zengou-Tayo that's how I remember it as well. Didn't Medea do it as she knew her father would stop to fish each piece out of the ocean?

[@michaelsommers2356]

She chopped up her brother, and threw the bits one-by-one into the sea. Her father had to stop and retrieve each piece, which obviously slowed him down, allowing Jason and Medea to escape. He had to get each piece in order to bury his son, for if you aren't buried you, can't get into the underworld. The Greek underworld wasn't much fun, but it beat being trapped on Earth as a ghost.

[@thastygliax]

The murder of her brother also sets up a later scene where Jason and Medea have to beg help from her aunt, the even scarier sorceress Circe. But first Circe has to purify them of the blood-guilt for this murder, which she does only under duress. (IIRC, Medea invokes the laws of hospitality before confessing, or something like that?) Circe purifies them, and gives them the help they need, but warns them to never impose upon her ever again. [In the Greek myth game I run for my wife, her PC knows the story of the Argonauts because she married into the family of the sons of Boreas. That knowledge helped her survive meeting both Medea and Circe at various points in her travels. And Medea, who has been a queen three or four times by now, is still too scared of her aunt to go near her.]

[@thebpphantom]

Love the shirt! XD

[@snakeoi1sean]

Watching the 2000 miniseries Jason and the Argonauts right now and thinking Jeremy and Jason London would have been better cast as Castor and Pollux.

[@cacklebarnacle15]

The comb might have been a decorative hair comb, used to pin her hair up.

[@duckrutt]

Wow this was...not the oldest school but middlely school? There has to be a word that describes it. I guess what I'm saying is yay art!

[@rasnac]

The audience participation makes all the difference! Love this format. :D

[@warriorcatskid003]

Nicely done LOTR joke!

[@stonelane1827]

Gambling for kittens!

[@jamesjosephlister]

In all the versions I've previously heard Orpheus was with Jason and he played the lullaby while Medea cast the spell that put the dragon to sleep. Is that a version that other people have come across?

[@ashleyhoughton8592]

Dael... You're a good egg 🥚

[@stellafierce9848]

I agree I liked the previous format. I find the side conversations distracting. Before I felt she engaged with the audience.

[@RVR121]

eeeek natural light :O

[@Apexx27]

you are my favorite. that is all.

[@BeCurieUs]

I kinda dig this format. It feels like story time for realz. I am glad you mix it up because I def don't understand as much as the story this way, but it is still very fun :D

[@LynWise1]

I always miss your art when you don't show it

[@rebeccamccreary8530]

After this did you go eat a breadtangle of pizza?

[@Xsuh]

I kinda miss when she was talking to the camera. I'm not really digging this format where she tells someone else the story.

[@GenghisVern]

She needs a month of AFK.

[@TheLastVampireSong]

So..... I'm not really liking this format, I love the stories, the quirky narration, and an audience is not a bad idea BUT you're looking down, not to "us" and the audio is horrible, sometimes I can't hear you and I have never heard the others....
