Greatest Odyssey Of The Ages - for the first time on the screen (taglines)

Pelias

 * (Incognito) Jason, when your father defended his kingdom... no man fought harder than I!

Zeus

 * If I were to punish every blasphemy, I'd soon lose all loyalty and respect.
 * The gods are best served by those who need their help the least.
 * For the moment, let them enjoy a calm sea, a fresh breeze and each other. The girl is pretty and I was always sentimental. But for Jason, there are other adventures. I have not finished with Jason. Let us continue the game another day.

Aeëtes

 * Rise up, you dead, slain of the hydra, rise from your graves and avenge us! Those who steal the Golden Fleece must die.

Phineas

 * Lord Zeus, I was a sinner. I have never tried to deny it. But I didn't sin every day! Why then do you punish me every day?

Dialogue

 * Pelias: Well?
 * Priest: Zeus, king of the gods of the Greeks, brighten the ashes that I may read the future. I see... a great tree at the end of the world. And in its branches there hang the skull and skin of a ram. They gleam and shine for it is a prize of the gods, a Golden Fleece.


 * Phineas: But tell me, what gods protect you?
 * Jason: None now.
 * Phineas: You won't pass the Clashing Rocks.
