THE MYTH IN CONTEXT
The Argonaut myth did not develop in isolation. Scholars have sought a broader context for the Argonaut legend within Greek mythology and the mythologies of related peoples. In the section on Pre-Greek Influences, I have set out some of the myths that had a possible or probable influence on Jason. This section will look at some of the relationships and concepts that connect Jason with other Greek and non-Greek mythological themes and ideas that did not directly contribute to the development of the Argonaut myth.
