Option one - army focus: Train Jason. On advance make a stable and barracks and start producing as fast as possible. New villagers are ralled to gold until 7, then more to food. Train Hercules as fast as you can. Aim for harrasment with your army and a good use of restoration. Bolt the enemy myth unit or hero.

Option two - early Minotaur raiding: Get Jason. On advance get Labyrinth of Minos (Minotaur upgrade). Send the minotaur to your enemy and the upgrade should be in just before you are raiding his villagers. New villagers are ralled to gold until 7. Train Hercules as fast as possible. Follow up with a barracks and stable. Alternate new villagers to food and gold. Train minotaurs whenever you have enough favor. Follow it up with hoplites, hippeus and heroes.

Option three - 2nd TC: Get Jason - Then shift Transition into 2nd TC. Make the TC with all of the gold villagers.
