The legendary First Expedition of the Golden Fleece.
Ten years before Deianeira's death was a tumultuous and eventful year in ancient Greece. This was the year in which Hercules joined the Academy and his legend began, as well as the year in which Xena first formed her army to fight against Cortese.
The First Expedition of the Golden Fleece occurred during this time, making future King Jason of Corinth a legend among heroes.

Background information and notes[]
Year -10 is the name used by this site to represent events ten years before HTLJ: "The Wrong Path." The placement of these events in this year is based on several factors:
- Hercules last saw Nemesis ten years before "Pride Comes Before a Brawl," meaning this is the latest possibility for "Herc's Nemesis."
- The First Expedition of the Golden Fleece occurred ten years before "Once A Hero," which places that event in Year -9. Since Hercules later met Nemesis, it must occur beforehand
- The Trojan War began ten years prior to XWP: "Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts," e.g. Year -9, which is the latest year Hercules and the Lost Kingdom could occur (which is set some time before the war). Curiously, though, Helen's abduction and the launching of 100 ships have to occur before Hercules and the Lost Kingdom, as they were referenced in YH: "Adventures in the Forbidden Zone."
- According to XWP: "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," Eurydice died during a battle between Xena's army and the Bacchae some years prior. Although the battle wasn't seen or referenced, Eurydice's death was shown in YH: "Lyre, Liar." Xena formed her army eleven years prior to "Remember Nothing," and this likely occurred before she became the "Destroyer of Nations" (Year -9)
As for placing these events in the same year:
- All events prior to, and including, "Cram-ped" occur within the same academic term, which is described as a year according to "Get Jason."
- Given that most of the events from "Girl Trouble" onward occur around harvest time (Fall), I assume that the majority of these episodes is set in the latter half of the year.
- "Get Jason" occurs in a different year than previous episodes, and the episodes inbetween ("Con Ares" and "Me, Myself and Eye") could take place in either year.
For the most part, this list sticks to airing order. Several episodes, however, were moved out of order to accomodate continuity:
- "Down and Out in Academy Hills" is placed before "Keeping Up with the Jasons" because it featured Hephaestus' first meeting with Hercules.
- "No Way Out" is placed after "Keeping Up with the Jasons" because it features the aftermath of Lilith winning Dacuuda.
- "Inn Trouble" is placed after "Battle Lines: Part 2" because Hercules first met Discord in "Battle Lines: Part 2."
- "Cold Feet" is placed before "A Serpent's Tooth" because it features Jason's first royal etiquette training.
- "Home for the Holidays" is placed before "Mommy Dearest" because it features Lilith's first meeting with Alcmene.
- "Me, Myself and Eye" is placed before "Get Jason" because it features Jason still attending the Academy.
