God name "Argonautae"	Greek	The heroes and demigods who, according to the traditions of the Greeks, undertook the first bold maritime expedition to Colchis, a far distant country on the coast of the Euxine, for the purpose of fetching the golden fleeces. They derived their name from the ship Argo, in which the voyage was made, and which was constructed by Argus at the command of Jason, the leader of the Argonauts.
Hero name "Jason"	Greek	I.e. the healer or atoner, a name which the hero was said to have received from Cheiron, his instructor, having before been called Diomedes.
