Jason and the Golden Fleece

Around 300 B.C, a king named Athamas was sick of his first wife, so he married a second wife who wanted Nephele's son out of the way because she wanted her song to inherit the throne. Meanwhile, Hermes tries to save Phrixus, Nephele's son, by sending a flying golden ram to rescue him. Phrixus reaches the land of Colchis safely, but then he sacrifices the ram to Zeus and gives the Golden Fleece, its skin, to Aetes. In the midst of all of this, Jason, the king's son, grows up and returns in order to reclaim the throne. He brings people with him in order to ensure success. They sailed all the way to Colchis from Iolcus. Jason had more trouble reclaiming the throne than he thought he would. Pelias tells him he must retrieve the golden fleece in order to be King, but he thinks this challenge will never be conquered. He simply wants to keep being King, of course. The tasks for Jason are designed to kill him. After Jason returns from all of the tasks and challenges, he finds out that Pelias killed his father, which resulted in his mother also dying because she was so sad. Jason and Medea seek revenge for this, and they kill Pelias and chop him up, and then they put the pieces into her magic pot. They did this out of love for their father, but in the end, he is alone and not with Madea.
My favorite story of love and revenge is my favorite show called Revenge. A girl, named Amanda Clark, lost her father when she was a child. He was killed by this extremely wealthy family, the Grayson's, and he was framed as responsible for a plane crash. So, he is perceived as an awful person that is also dead to everyone, but she knows his innocence. Amanda switches identities and is a complete bad girl but awesome. She is one smart, tough cookie. She does everything out of love for her father and avenging his framing. She even marries the son of the Grayson's and is planning to kill them and ruin their lives, like they did to her and her father, on the date of the wedding. You have to watch this show. It's awesome. She also has a tattoo of the infinity symbol on her wrist because her father graved this symbol into a box of stuff that she keeps from him.
