Jason (HTLJ)

Jason, played by Jeffrey Thomas, was the king of Corinth, and also the man who found the Golden Fleece. He was remembered for a long time as a great hero, especially by Hercules, until he began drinking to ease the pain of losing his wife and children. Hercules and the other Argonauts helped him clean up and he became a respectable king once more. When Hercules heard that Jason was marrying his mother, he lost some respect for his hero and felt betrayed that Jason had never mentioned that they were seeing each other. It was weird when Alcmene told Hercules she had been seeing Jason since she received word of Amphitryon's death. That means she must have been seeing Jason even before Hercules was born! That also means she was cheating on Jason when she dated Demetrius, and that Jason was cheating on his wife with Alcmene. Jason was an interesting character, even if he was way too young in the Young Hercules series for the timeline to work. After Alcmene's passing, Jason tried to stay close to Hercules, and eventually rekindled an old romance with his first love, Lilith.
