"I just really, really don't like him" is followed up with "he's just an asshole. I won't represent him in any other way." Do you see a problem there, Cfp? That's called bias. Odysseus is arguably one of the most popular (and best-loved) of the Greek heroes simply because he's smart (unlike the rest of them who prefer to hack-n-slash their way through their problems) and isn't a golden-faced good boy with no flaws. He has character - like actual, real human beings. Yeah, sure, he is kind of egotistical and puts his own interests first. Still, those are by no means either of his defining character traits. To call him an asshole is not only subjective but completely alters the focus of his journeys and his character traits.

And as for the Golden Fleece thing, I concede. I forgot that the whole "instant-heal properties" thing was just from the movie. I will admit that my Greek mythology is a little rusty, so I apologize.
