Rise of the Argonauts is a role-playing game developed by Liquid Entertainment and published by Codemasters. The game's plot surrounds the myth of Jason and his Argonauts as he tries to search for the Golden Fleece.[1]
[edit] Story
In Rise of the Argonauts, you play as Jason, the Greek king. Jason's wife, Alcmene, is assassinated and Jason avenges her by killing the assassin. He sealed her body in the temple where they were supposed to marry. Jason learns that the golden fleece, a magical artifact known to carry the power of resurrection, is the only way to bring her back to life. He leaves his land under the rule of his uncle and sets out on the newly constructed Argo to bring back the golden fleece, and possibly, his bride. Jason recruits the Argonauts, including Hercules (or Heracles as he was called by the Greeks), the trailer shows various mythical creatures one of which is a giant boar. The Levels or islands in the game are all based on different Greek gods. For examples, the island based on Artemis has a woodland type area based on hunting, while the island based on Apollo is an enormous desert and the island based on Ares is a volcanic island with a gladiator arena at its center.
