Jason is on the far left,the left side is the human side and the right is the Divine side. Athena is in the middle, because she holds a spear and a crest helmet. She is raising her hand to help Jason. she is looking to the left.
Athena is in the middle to balance each other out.
The divine side of the vase is on the right side, and all of the Gods are looking towards Jason. It also looks like Athena is helping Jason based on her hand rising up while she looks at Jason. Athena's helmet has a little part of her helmet above the designs, showing that she is unbalanced and has more power compared to normal humans. The designs are in the color gold, which might be because the story is about the golden fleece.
When looking at the vase I can see a pretty clear depiction of Athena and her golden helmet. Athena is holding a spear and looking at an animal. The other two men seem to be looking at the same animal and may also be gods. I see Jason is on the far left and seems to be naked, hike the Igor side seems to be the god side, pure side. Athena and the other man on the right are clothed and seem to act like they are better than jason. Her gesture to jason seems to be helping Jason in his quest for the fleece. We can see two animals on the side a ram and a snake. The snake seems to be protecting the fleece, while the ram is somewhat protecting but more helping.
The figures are all on their sides, much like in ancient Egyptian paintings; However, these figures appear mor realistic than those of the ancient Egypians. From left to right, the figures are Jason, Athena, and possibly Apollo. All the figures are contained within the border. Athena appears to be helping Jason, either by lifting him up/giving him strength, or by warding off a snake.
On the left side you can see a human attempting to fight a snake and or accomplish a goal that no one thinks he can do (Jason). Athena is In the middle of he vase holding a spear and is wearing a spartan cap. She is also facing Jason because she is often looking out for humans. Apollo is on the right side of the vase which is demostrating divinity. He is also looking towards Jason to see what might happen next.

I think that the characters on the vase would be jason(on the far left) and on the right Apollo and the middle of the vase is Athena. They all seem to be looking up towards something, and the jester Athena is giving she is moving more towards that humans. It also is showing on the back of the vase the back of the humans.
In mythology we see either mortals positively and negatively effected by the gods and goddesses. In the vase we see one mortal, and you can tell this because of his size compared to the other two characters in this vase. The mortal looks like he is almost climbing or striving for something. Then we see two figures standing behind him watching and you could say even supporting him. I can see that Athena is almost holding up her hand. This can be seen as maybe two ways. The first is that she's offering gifts or she could be pushing the mortal up to reach his goal. Behind Athena stands Apollo, I think he is also showing his support or gifts due to how he is standing behind Athena.
The vase shows a lot about each person. Jason is on the left trying to get the golden fleece. Then you have Athena looking at Jason with her hand raised high in the air wanting him to get the fleece.
I see that the humans are on the left and the gods are on the right as to separate them. Athena is in the middle as if to symbolize that she is invested in both worlds. The human looks like he is trying to get something. The people next to him are watching him to see what he does and they will rbe act based upon his actions. Maybe the one in the middle is holding a gift for hm.
Jason and Athena are on the vase. left side is the human side and the right side is the divine side. Athen is helping out Jason and is in the favor of humans. Athena takes thing out of order for Jason. It looks much like a decretive vase that a merchant might have made.
The vase shows Athena, Apollo, and Jason on his quest for the golden fleece. Athena is almost pointing at, or showing the snake to Jason. Jason is trying to fight the snake to get the fleece or continue his quest. The edges just have a decorative pattern. The only colors used are black and gold.
Jason is on the right grabbing the golden fleece, it looks as if Athena is helping him through his journey. the person is on the left indicating a divine being but I'm unsure who he is.
On the left is Jason with the golden fleece. Next to the fleece seems to be a snake or dragon that is supposed to protect it. The goddess in the middle is Athena, holding her spear and helmet that identifies her. On right seems to be the god Apollo next to a boat. The borders have a dot pattern and on the top middle of the vase looks like a figure of people facing the left. On the back I would guess is the Argonauts. It also has the same dot pattern on the back.
Jason is on the left and I think he is contemplating his Journey and trying to have a heroic code. Athena is in the middle you can tell by her spear and Apollo is on the right. I think they will be a guide for Jason along his journey.
The vase depicts Athena and Apollo looking at Jason with the Argo. The divine are looking towards humanity to show that they are caring for man and their creations. Jason is looking away from the divine, and he is looking towards his ship.
I see Jason, on the left, making some kind of contact with a dragon, stealing the fleece. Athena in the middle of who seem to be Jason and possibly Apollo. There is a small bit of the ship Argo, on the right side with Apollo. Jason is going after the dragon, while it seems Apollo just watches. Athena is also just sort of standing there, but she seems to be helping in a way.
The vase is meant to depict Jason's quest for the golden fleece. Jason is on the left, separated from the gods who represent the divine side on the right by Athena. Athena's helmet goes outside the border of the artwork, possibly suggesting that she has more power than the rest of the gods. She also looks to be helping Jason, who is shown to be in the middle of a struggle on his quest.
There is the Human side, represented on the left, along with the Divine side, represented on the right. It seems as if all the characters on the vase are looking towards Jason and Athena appears to even be helping him in some way. Jason is the human on the left and Apollo is the god on the right. Athena is in the middle with her golden helmet and spear. The most interesting part is the fact that Athena is moving towards the human side. It says a lot about Athena considering Zeus is a god that intends to keep humans out and away.
The vase has a lot to tell, Athena’s outfit has a face on it and her helmet has like a chameleon on it. Also her hand is open and raised,her hand is closest to Jason. Jason golden fleece its not that challangeing its a snake shes rasing a hand to help and shes a goddess of upholding shes looking left and she likes the humans everything is perfectly balanced but athena is taller so is the other divine next to her who may be Apollo. Jason has stitches on his body but he still has a smile on his face.
The ancient Greeks used art of many styles to express themselves and tell stories. Their vases were no exception. The vase we looked at today shows Athena in the center, a human figure on the left, and a divinity or god on the right. It looks like Athena is approaching the human side showing personality of Athena, siding with the humans is something she does often, however she always comes back to the god side. Athena is also the only figure on the vase that has the power to break the border around all of them. Symbolizing the power that shes has and showing that she is special.
When first viewing the photo of the vase, it was important to first realize which characters are present. The left side of the vase contains human characters, whereas the right side of the vase contains divine entities. On the left, the character Jason is present. On the right, the character that is unclothed a reaching upwards to where athena's hand is raised towards as well. Athena stands between the humans and the gods, appearing to be helping Jason and protecting the animals. Athena appears to be taller than the other characters and even almost coming out of the lines of the vase. This symbolizes her true power and how she is balanced throughout this photo.
After looking at the black/red vase figure image showing Athena in the center of the painting approaching a human on the left while lifting her arm as if she had brought the man his ram which provided many purposes, who she normally sided with and protected rather then going to the right side of the painting where the Gods/Divinity's were watching. The direction of the paint that the picture is portraying is going in every direction possible, the people are looking in different directions but mostly at each other. The borders are mainly surrounding the people but the goddess Athena appears to be taller, has a face on her armor and is wearing better clothes then everyone else symbolizing she is stronger and larger then anyone else in the painting perhaps due to her heart, the front border band has a symbol that may have a deeper meaning to the people of this origin then what meets the eye to an outsider like we are and is seen to be deeply detailed with little to no space between each mark.
The vase has three figures in view. The figure to the left is Jason, and is reaching for a treasure guarded by a serpent. The figure in the center is Athena, presumably aiding Jason on his quest, looking over to him to make sure he is safe. Apollo is probably the figure on the right, with him presumably acting against Athena.
The first thing that I noticed about the vase is that I can see Jason on the left side of the vase, and on the right side we can see either the gods or the divine beings. Jason on the left is on the quest for the golden fleece. I can see not only the prized golden fleece, but also the snake and the troubles in which he had to endure in order to finish his quest. I think it is also very relevant that we see what appear to be Athena in the middle between the gods Jason, the humans. It is important to see that she is standing there and appears to be helping Jason throughout his quest for the golden fleece. We have seen this a lot, Athena picking the side of the humans at times, helping them in ways.
