Jason and the Golden Fleece
Landscape of Turkey
The Greeks have given the world its greatest body of myths , and the myth of Jason is an epic tale of the hero's quest, the ancestor of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings..
Jason is set a Mission Impossible: to sail into the unknown to find the Golden Fleece. He is saved by the priestess Medea and her magical arts. But her love comes at a high price.
A fairy tale? Or was there a real Jason voyage? Michael heads from Greece to the wild mountains of the Caucasus to find the truth behind the legend.
Next week in the final episode Michael is much closer to home as he unravels a fascinating new take on the ever-popular legend of King Arthur : The Once And Future King.
