Medea and I. |
your travel needs I think it only seems fit to revisit my quest. Upon finally ariving in Colchis Aites was less than willing to hand me over his golden fleece despite my personal charm. Aites declared he would give me the fleece if i completed an ordeal of strength. I was to:
- Yoke two fire-breathing bulls
- Plow a field with said bulls
- Sow the field with dragons teeth
- Defeat a field of warriors that would grow from the dragon teeth

The Golden Fleece |
Alas as I was getting myself prepared for yet another triumphant battle I met Aites' daughter Medea who was infatuated with me. She soon took it into her own hands to retrieve the golden fleece for me by casting a spell on the guarding dragon. Well you know what it's like when your woman gets an idea in her head. So I had no choice but to flee Colchis with the fleece and my new wife Medea. So unfortunately I did not see a lot of Colchis, I'm sure its a perfectly pleasant place even if its occupants are quite rash in their actions. I would not mention you know me if you want to have a good time, I hear they are still a bit touchy about the whole fleece situation.
