Iolcos (also known as Iolkos or Iolcus) was an ancient city in Thessaly, central-eastern Greece (near the modern city of Volos).
Aeson was the rightful king of Iolcos, but his brother Pelias usurped the throne. It was Pelias who sent Aeson's son Jason and his Argonauts to look for the Golden Fleece.
