Number 6 considers the asking to be a small victory, and so he is eager to answer.
"Hm. That's tricky. The Argonautica by Apollonius of Rhodes is the most complete telling of their tale, but there was a second Argonautica written in Latin by Valerius Flaccus; it's far less intact.

"You might also try cross-referencing with stories of Medea, who was an enchantress Jason later married. As for the other 50 men on the crew, less individualized attention was given to them with some notable exceptions--such as Orpheus who descended to the underworld to recover his lost wife or Heracles son of Zeus."
He could go on, because there were 50 of them, after all, but it seems like too wide a net to be throwing. "Are there any of them in specific you are more interested in knowing about?"
