Short description
A fantasy drama set in a world of legendary heroes and mythical creatures. Far from home and desperate for answers, Jason washes up on the shores of an ancient land. A mysterious place; a world of bull leaping, of snake haired goddesses and of palaces so vast it was said they were built by giants - this is the city of Atlantis. Aided by his two new friends, Pythagoras and Hercules, Jason embarks on a voyage of discovery, and salvation, which sees him brush shoulders with Medusa, come face to face with the Minotaur and even do battle with the dead.

What's left behind the scenes
- Unlike many other nuances, the relationship between Jason and Medea is depicted accurately. In Greek mythology, Jason married Medea, and she used magic to help him.
- In Greek mythology, Ariadne and Jason came from different legends and never crossed paths: Ariadne helped Theseus defeat the Minotaur, while Jason sailed for the Golden Fleece on the Argo.
- In Greek mythology, Ariadne is the daughter of Pasiphae, not a stepdaughter as shown in the series.
- The series depicts gladiatorial battles in the Colosseum arena; however, the ancient Greeks knew of no such entertainment. The Colosseum was an invention of the ancient Romans, based on the ancient Greek theater, but its purpose was unrelated to art. Plays were performed in theaters, not killings.
