God of the Golden Fleece by Fred Saberhagen

In Fred Saberhagen’s world, mortal men take on “the face” of a god and essentially become that god. In The God of the Golden Fleece, a man that started out as an assassin of Jason and the crew of the Argo loses his memory at the same time he seems to gain the “face” of the god Triton. Although he suffers from some amnesia throughout the entire book, he does remember that his goal now is to protect Jason and the Argo and help him in his quest to obtain the Golden Fleece. It was an interesting take on this ancient story and a fun read. Saberhagen is really quite good at taking classic stories and giving them new twists.
