Summary
A contemporary interpretation of Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece, this program scrutinizes what is colloquially referred to as the battle of the sexes. Production values re-create the world of the Bronze Age, and commentary from modern scholars evokes themes in the 21st century: Who holds the real power in male/female relationships? Why are women so often objects of male fear as well as desire? How heroic is a classical male protagonist if he constantly needs female assistance?
