Junior Argonauts

These two Greek boys are thinking of applying to join Jason on his quest to find the Golden Fleece. But do they have the necessary skills, equipment and personal qualities needed to pass the interview?

What do you think would make a good Argonaut?

Think carefully about the personal qualities that might be needed on this long and possibly dangerous voyage.

What skills would be needed on the ship and when they disembark and explore on land?

Is there anything that might be useful to have brought along?

  1. I think that those two Greeks should get their equipment just in case Jason runs out so their equipment can help getting the fleece back so they need the help they can have to get the Golden Fleece back

For equipment we will need,healthy food to eat when we are hungry and when we are also out of energy,weapons for our fights,a map to show us where to go,cutlery for us to eat with,pots and pans to cook with and a tool box to fix our boat with.For skills we will need,a chef to cook for us,soldiers to fight with,a doctor to look after us when we are hurt and a maid to wash up and clean up dirty stuff.For personal qualities we will need to be determined,brave,kind and we will need to work together so none of us upset one another.

  6. I think what would make a good argonaut is people what would make them laugh to make them think about the good time and a weapon make and cook because if a monster breaks there weapon the weapon maker would make them one fast so they would slay the beast and continue they adventure. If they got hungry the cook would cook up something. Also they would need a map/compass reader to navigate a safe route for the team and a person to calm down beast to clear a way for the team members. You might need a need a fisherman to catch fish for the the cook.

  7. You will need weapons like a pick axe so they can chop up the skeleton and then Jason will be sneaky and calm them with the music and get his team to secretly chop off the three headed monster and when the evil ,mean selfish king is at his window sleeping he jason
    Will slide through the prison bars run upstairs and push the evil king back were he belongs in the cold freezing water .He was shocked then that's when he knew never mess with Jason or he will put you down deep down .Jason never here'd from the king again . As for the king he lives on an island and he died in at the age of 89 and Jason and the Argonauts lived happily ever after the end

  9. They will need armour to protect them. Then they will also need weapons to attack like swords, bows and arrows. Then they might get injured so it would be useful to have doctors and healers on the quest. They need to eat so will need a chef.

    2. You could get somebody how is a doctor so she could give that person medical treatment so the next few days they might be better.if you are hungry you could have a warmer so the food is warm but if you have food a mistress creature might come and eat the food so you would have to hunt for rabbits and cook it whith pot on the fire

  12. you will need weapons becauase there might be evil creataures how kill people and there might even be nights how kill people not from the village they will chop your head of.

  13. The Greek boys will need map because you may get lost in a fog and the map can direct you out of it. They will also need a navigator to read the map in case you don't know how to read a map. They will also need weapons because you might need to go though a fight for it. Because you have weapons you will need professionally trained warriors
    because they can use there power to make there attack even harder. They will need a doctor so when you get a cut they can cure you. They will need a carpenter to repair the ship in case your falls apart. They will need a tool box for the carpenter.

  14. You would need armour to protect you in battle and some weapons so you can try to win. You would need food so you don't starve to death. Also, you would need a doctor in case you crew get sick. And the most important team work.

    2. I were going on a quest, I would find 50 Argonauts to help me find the Golden Fleece. I would also need some body to make the food otherwise we will starve. Also we need a black smith so if our weapons get a worn out and weak, they can be repaired. we will need to bring flint to sharpen them too.

  26. You will have to take a livestock of food so we will not starve and take 50 gallons of water for each Argonaut to stay hydrated meanwhile they are working in the sun , also we need live jacket in case if one of the men go over board we need a live line in case if the ocean is very ruff so we can tie ourselves up on them so if our boat tips we will be safe.
