How can Jason, Perseus, Theseus be recognised in a painting or sculpture?

I need individual descriptions for each, or certain things that these greek heroes may have with them.

EXAMPLE: For heracles I wrote: Heracles may have been recognised by the lion skin helmet he wore or the club he carried.

Either give descrition of all of the greek heroes or just any you know. Any advice, input is helpful! Doesn't need to be very long either. One sentence will do.

Thanks please answer my question!

  1. Jason can be recognized holding the Golden Fleece or fighting the 7 headed Hydra.

    Perseus can be recognized hold the severed head of the Medusa

    Theseus can be recognized fighting the Minotaur (half man half Bull).


  2. Perseus is usually depicted holding up the head of Medusa.  Jason is sometimes shown wearing one sandal.  As for Theseus, although he's known for entering the Labyrinth, killing the Minotaur, forgetting to change the color of his sail on the way home, and later carrying off and maybe marrying the Amazon Queen Hippolyta*, there's no object that I know of traditionally associated with him in art.

    *(So was he Wonder Woman's father?)
