Pelias was king of Iolcus in Greek mythology. The son of Tyro and the god Poseidon, he was the one who sent Jason on the quest for the Golden Fleece. Pelias was the son of Poseidon, his wife is recorded as daughter of Bias, or Phylomache, daughter of Amphion. He was the father of Acastus, Alcestis, Hippothoe, Evadne, Asteropeia and Medusa. Tyro was married to King Cretheus of Iolcus, with whom she had three sons, Pherês, Amythaon, but she loved Enipeus, a river god, she pursued Enipeus. One day, filled with lust for Tyro, disguised himself as Enipeus and lay with her - from their union were born twin sons and Neleus. Tyro exposed her sons on a mountain to die, but they were found by a herdsman who raised them as his own, as one story goes, or they were raised by a maid; when they reached adulthood and Neleus found Tyro and killed her stepmother Sidero for having mistreated her. Pelias was power-hungry and he wished to gain dominion over all of Thessaly. To this end, he banished Neleus and Pherês, locked Aeson in the dungeons in Iolcus.

While in the dungeons, Aeson married and had several children, most famously, Jason. Aeson sent Jason away from Iolcus in fear that Pelias would have him killed as a potential heir to the throne. Jason grew in the care of Chiron the centaur, on the slopes of Mount Pelion, to be educated while Pelias, fearing that he would be overthrown, was warned by an oracle to beware a man wearing one sandal. Many years Pelias offered a sacrifice by the sea in honor of Poseidon. Jason, summoned with many others to take part in the sacrifice, lost one of his sandals in the flooded river Anaurus while rushing to Iolcus. In Virgil's Aeneid and Hyginus' Fabulae, Hera/Juno disguised herself as an old woman, whom Jason helped across the river when he lost his sandal; when Jason entered Iolcus, he was announced as a man wearing one sandal. Fearful, Pelias asked Jason. Jason responded. Pelias sent him to retrieve the Golden Fleece, it would be found in a grove sacred to Ares, the god of war. Though the Golden Fleece hung on an oak tree, this was a impossible task, as an ever-watchful dragon guarded it.

Jason made preparations by commanding the shipwright Argus to build a ship large enough for fifty men, which he would call the Argo. These heroes who would join his quest were known as the Argonauts. Upon their arrival, Jason requested the Golden Fleece from the king of Aeëtes. Aeëtes demanded that Jason must first yoke a pair of fire-breathing bulls to a plough and sow dragon's teeth into the earth. Medea, daughter of Aeëtes, fell in love with Jason, being endowed with magical powers, aided him in his completion of the difficult task, she cast a spell to put the dragon to sleep, enabling Jason to obtain the Golden Fleece from the oak tree. Jason and the Argonauts fled Colchis and began their journey home to Thessaly. During Jason's absence, Pelias thought the Argo had sunk, this was what he told Aeson and Promachus, who committed suicide by drinking poison. However, it is possible that the two were both killed directly by Pelias; when Jason and Medea returned, Pelias still refused to give up his throne.

Medea conspired to have Pelias' own daughters kill him. She told them she could turn an old ram into a young ram by boiling it. During the demonstration, a live, young ram jumped out of the pot. Excited, the girls cut their father into pieces and threw them into a pot, in the expectation that he would emerge rejuvenated. Pelias, of course, did not survive; as he was now an accessory to a terrible crime, Jason was still not made king. Pelias' son Acastus banished Jason and Medea, to Corinth, so reclaimed the kingdom. An alternate telling of the story has Medea slitting the throat of Jason's father Aeson, who she really does revive as a much younger man. Media related to Pelias at Wikimedia Commons

Queer heterosexuality is heterosexual practice, controversially called queer. The concept was first discussed in the mid-1990s, critically within radical feminism, as a positive identification by Clyde Smith in a paper delivered at a conference in Amsterdam in 1997. In 2003 Village Voice published an article called "The Queer Heterosexual", referred to in papers published since, as it delineates the territory covered by the term. Queer heterosexuality is said to be demonstrated when one or both hetero partners have a gender expression in nontraditional ways: heterosexual masculine women or feminine men, or by taking up gender roles that vary from the Hegemonic masculinity and femininity of the culture in question; the term is considered by many LGBT people to be offensive because, among other things, it is considered a misappropriation of the struggles faced by LGBT people, by those who have never experienced them. It implies that not conforming to every single gender stereotype makes one weird or different.

Kitzinger and Wilkinson argued that the rehabilitation of heterosexuality through "'queer' heterosexuality" as "a concept derived from postmodernist and queer theory" is seen as flawed from a radical feminist perspective. Acknowledging that'queer heterosexuality' is explored in detail, they explain that "the notion of the'queer heterosexual' had become established in queer theory", gaining currency not because people are convinced it is possible or desirable, but "because queer heterosexuality is a necessary component of'gender-fucking'" in Butlerian terms.'Queer heterosexuality' becomes named in the project which destabilises all such categories and moves towards a world where categories like heterosexual are rendered redundant. In a 2004 paper, Annette Schlichter describes the discourse on queer heterosexuality as aiming at "the de- and possible reconstruction of heterosexual subjectivity through the straight authors' aspiration to identify as queer." In the paper a genealogy of queer heterosexuality is outlined, pointing out that "the queer critique of sexual normativity is both bound to the history of specific identities and committed to the destabilization of sexual identities—including those that have become hegemonic", while "critics concerned about issues of lesbian visibility and difference raise the specter of the queer heterosexual... as an indication of the queer project’s perversion of social and political identities and their relations to power."Putting to one side the question of whether the idea of homosexual contagion is homophobic, Guy Davidson uses the article from the Village Voice as an example of how the idea of queer subversion of heterosexuality can have "politically positive implications" in relation to Tristan Taormino's writing on celebration of the LGBT movement's queering of heterosexual sex practices the production of the "queer heterosexual".

In Straight writ queer, the authors acknowledge that the queer heterosexual is only starting to emerge from the closet, seeking in the book to "identify and out the queer heterosexual" in historic and contemporary literature and to identify "inherently queer heterosexual practices" which critique heteronormativity and open up possibilities for the future. The examples in the book include anchorites, the Marquis de Sade and Algernon Charles Swinburne as examples of queer heterosexuals. "Male masochism disavows a masculinity predicated on phallic mastery, hence becomes a strategic site for queer heterosexual resistance to heteronormativity". In 2005, Robert Heasley explored queer heterosexuality among a group of men that he identifies as "straight-queer males." According to Heasley, these men are self-identified heterosexuals who do not find social spaces dominated by traditionally masculine personalities comfortable. Heasley believes that a lack of understanding of masculinity can be addressed by creating a terminology to describe non-hegemonic masculine behavior.

He lists behavior such as platonic cuddling, hand-holding and emotional openness among the ones displayed by straight-queer males. Men who have been surveyed about their "mostly straight" behavior gave various reasons for this self-identification: some felt constrained by traditional models of gender and sexual orientation, others found men attractive; some had a small amount of sexual interest in men but no desire for romantic same-sex relationships or intercourse, while others felt romantic but not sexual interest in other men. As queer is defined either as a synonym for LGBT, or defined as "non-heterosexual", this term is controversial; some LGBT people disapprove of the appropriation of queer by cisgender heterosexual individuals, since the term has been used as a slur towards LGBT people. When straight celebrities self-identify as queer, it has been argued that they play with the "fashionable" parts of LGBT identity, without having to suffer the oppression. Critics of the term compare the use of queer heterosexual to celebrities like Madonna, who appropriated vogue dancing for her performances, taking a dance from gay men of color and profiting from it herself.

Daniel Harris, author of The Rise and Fall of Gay Culture, said that people who call themselves a "queer heterosexual" "are under the impression th
