The Argo heroes were warmly received on the island, and they were about to relax and rest, when the fleet of the Colcasts made a detour and suddenly appeared on the seashore, and a large number of people came ashore. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info They demanded that Medea be brought back to their homeland, and if they did not agree, they would fight to the death with the Greeks.

The Argot heroes were about to fight, but the kind Alcanous hurriedly stopped them. Medea hugged the knees of the king's wife, Areth, and said, "I beseech you, female monarch, that they do not send me back to my homeland. I did not flee rashly, but it was because I was afraid of my father that I decided to run away with Iazon. He brought me back to my hometown as a bride.

Have compassion on me, and may the gods bless you with a long life, many children and grandchildren, and grant your city immortal honor. She knelt down again and pleaded with the heroes. Each of the heroes grinded their fists and swore to her that they would rescue her even if King Alcanos wanted to hand her over.

In the middle of the night, the king consulted with his wife about what to do with the girl who had fled from Colcastas. Arete interceded for her and told him that the hero Iason was willing to marry her as his lawful wife.

Alcanos was a good-hearted man, and he was very touched when he heard it. "Of course, for the sake of this girl, I am willing to take up arms and drive the Kolkhas off the island." He said, "But I fear that this will violate Zeus's commandment to be courteous." Besides, it was not wise to offend the powerful king Aetes, because although he lived far away, he still had enough strength to attack Greece.

Therefore, my decision was this: if she was still an unmarried girl, then she should be handed over to her father to dispose of; If she is already Iason's wife, then I cannot let her leave her husband and ruin their happiness, because she belongs to her husband, not to her father. “

Areta was taken aback when she heard of the king's decision, and she sent a messenger overnight to bring the news to Iason, and advised him to marry before dawn. Iason consulted his companions, and everyone was in favor of doing so. They chose a holy cave and made Medea the wife and companion of Iason.

The next morning, the coast and fields were bathed in sunshine, the Huaiaqaya gathered in the streets of the city, and on the other side of the island stood the Kolkhayans, armed with weapons and ready for battle. Alcanous walked out of the palace, the golden scepter in hand, to announce the verdict against the girl.

Behind him stood a group of nobles and retinues, women gathered to catch a glimpse of the Greek heroes, and many others came from the countryside, for Hera had spread the news far and wide.

Everything is ready, the aroma of the offering of sacrifice Naoyu. The heroes of Algo have waited a long time. At last the king sat on the throne, and Iasonn stepped forward and swore that Medea, the daughter of King Aetes, was his lawful wife.

When Alcanos heard this, he summoned the witnesses who were present at the wedding, and they testified that it was true. So the king solemnly decreed that Medea was already the wife of Iason, and therefore could not give her to the Kolkas. He promised to protect the heroes of Algot.

No matter how much the Kolkaris objected, it was invalid. The king declared that they could live on the island as peaceful inhabitants or leave by boat. The Kolkas did not dare to return to Medea for fear that King Aetes would kill them in anger. They chose the former approach and stayed on the island.

After a week, the heroes of Argo reluctantly bid farewell to King Alcanos. They got on board with a sumptuous gift and continued the voyage with great joy.

They passed through many more coasts and islands, and now the shores of their native Peloponnese are faintly visible. Suddenly, the ship was hit by a violent north wind, and after nine days and nine nights at sea, it drifted across the Libyan Sea and finally came to the Gulf of Thetis in Africa.

It's full of dense macrophyllous algae with a thick layer of foam, like a calm swamp. It is surrounded by stretches of sand, on which there are neither wild animals nor birds. The Argo boat was washed up on the beach by the tide, and the hull of the ship was firmly grounded on the beach. They were so surprised that they jumped out of the boat. In front of him was an endless mud pool, empty and desolate as the sky. There were no springs, no roads, no shepherds, only deathly silence.

"Oh no, alas, what is this place? Where did the wind and waves send us? The companions complained, "We'd rather be smashed in the pumice rock, or die in a heroic cause!" “

"yes!" Helmsman Ankeos said. "The tide has stranded us here, but it won't take us back. At this point, all hopes of continuing the voyage or returning home as soon as possible were dashed. “

They were as if they had met an infected person in a plague-endemic city, and they were at a loss to do so, so they had to watch the disease rage and wait for death to come. At night, they lay on the sand hungry and clothed, silently waiting for death.

The maidens whom King Alcanos had given to Medea as a gift also gathered around her mistress in horror and sighed repeatedly. If it weren't for the protectors of Libya, the three half-human and half-god fairies who had mercy on them, then these people would have died tragically!

Three fairies, dressed in goatskins, came to Iason's side in the heat of noon and gently lifted the cloak that covered his head. Iason jumped to his feet in horror and looked at them reverently and respectfully. "O unfortunate ones," they said, "we know your suffering. But don't worry any more, when the goddess of the sea rides Poseidon's carriage, thank your mother who has conceived you for so long. From then on, you will be able to return to Greece without any problems. “

The fairies suddenly disappeared, and Iason told his companions of the obscure and exciting oracle. While they were pondering, another miraculous sign appeared: a huge seahorse jumped ashore from the sea, its golden mane scattered on the horse's back, shaking off the droplets of water and galloping away.

Peleus cheered happily: "Half of the riddle-like oracles have been explained. The goddess of the sea has unloaded the wagon, which was drawn by this horse. The mother who has been giving birth to us for a long time is the Argo ship. For that we owe her a debt of gratitude. Let's carry the boat on our shoulders and walk across this dirt field, following the footsteps of the seahorses on the ground, which will surely guide us to the mooring. “

Do what you say. The heroes really carried the big boat and walked in the mud for twelve days. There were desolate beaches everywhere, and if it weren't for the faith and strength that the gods gave them, they might have died on the first day. They finally came to the bay of Telitoni, and they weary themselves lowered the boat from their shoulders. Thirsty and thirsty, they searched everywhere for water.

On his way to find water, the singer Orpheus meets the four daughters of Hesperos, the god of the night, who are singing fairies who live in the sacred garden where the dragon Ladon guards the golden apple. Orpheus begged them to show the thirsty where there was a spring. They felt compassion. Aigler, the most merciful of them all, told her a strange thing.

"Yesterday, a brave robber appeared here." She said, "He killed the dragon and snatched the golden apple, and he will help you." He was a very savage man, with an angry expression on his face, sparkling eyes, and a rough lion's skin, and in his hands an olive rod and a bow and arrow that killed the dragon. He also came out of the desert, and because he was thirsty and couldn't find water anywhere, he kicked his foot at a rock wall. Strange to say, the rock wall seemed to be under the spell, and cool spring water suddenly flowed out of the cracks. The giant fell on the ground, drank water in his hands, and when he had drunk his fill, he lay down on the ground to rest. “

Aigle said, pointing out the rock spring to him. The heroes all heard the noise. The cool mountain spring saved their dry lives, and everyone became happy again. "Really," said one of the heroes, moistening his hot lips with spring water, "that man is Hercules, who saved everyone, and may we have met him again!" With that, they split up and searched everywhere. When they came back dejectedly, they all said that they had not seen him, except that the sharp-eyed Lyncus said that they had seen him. But he was far away, and it was impossible to chase him back.

Unfortunately, they had another accident and lost two companions, and everyone was saddened. Later, they sailed again. They drove the ship out of the Gulf of Theratoni into the endless sea, where a headwind blew and the ship was blocked in the harbor.

Following the advice of the singer Orpheus, they went ashore to offer the local gods the largest tripod on the ship. On their way back, they met Therytoni, the god of the sea. Disguised as a teenager, he picked up a piece of dirt from the ground and handed it to the Argonaut hero Oyufermos as a sign of his landlord's friendship. Oyuvermoth took the clod and hid it on his chest.

"My father gave me this sea," said the god of the sea, "and I became the protector of the land." You see, where the black water bubbles, there is a narrow passage from the bay to the sea. Paddle that way, and I will give you another good wind, so that you will soon reach the Peloponnese. They got on board with great joy. Terrytoni picked up the three-legged tripod and disappeared into the waves.

After a few days of sailing, the hero of Argo came safely to the island of Carbatos. From here they want to turn to Crete. But the guardian of the island is the terrifying giant Talos, who is a remnant of the Bronze Age humans. Zeus put him on guard over Europa and told him to patrol the island three times a day. Talos's body is bronze, so it can't be injured, except for a piece of flesh on his ankle, with veins and veins.

Whoever knows this and hits it will be able to kill him. For after all, he is mortal, not immortal. The heroes of Argo sail towards the island. Talos was standing on a reef by the sea, and when he saw the stranger coming, he grabbed the stone and threw it at the boat. The heroes were taken aback and hurriedly ducked backwards. In order to escape the danger, they were ready to abandon the landing plan, despite their unbearable thirst. Then Medea stood up and said, "Listen, men: I know how to subdue this monster. Lean the boat over and lean against the rocks out of reach. “

With that, she lifted her purple and gold robe and stepped onto the deck, with Iasong following her. Medea whispered a spell, summoned the goddess of fate three times, and the Hound of Hell, who chased life everywhere. She used magic to make Talos close his eyelids. Nightmares invaded his soul, and in the dream he lifted his fleshy feet and kicked on sharp stones, bleeding from his wounds. He woke up in pain, struggled to get up, but swayed like a pine tree that had been cut in half and then blown down by a gale, and suddenly roared and fell into the sea.

The heroes of Argo went ashore safely, and they rested comfortably on the island until the next morning. However, when they had just left Crete, they encountered a new and terrible danger. The sky suddenly became pitch black, there was no moon, no stars. Darkness seems to rise from hell and connect with the sky.

They don't know if it's at sea now, or if it's going down the wave to Tartarus. Iason raised his hands and prayed to Apollo, the god of the sun, to save them from the terrible darkness. The sun god heard his prayer, descended from the sacred mountain of Olympus, jumped onto a rock in the middle of the sea, and shot a shining silver arrow with a golden bow in his hand. In the shining, they saw a small island in front of them.

There, they anchored and waited for dawn. And when they were sailing again in the bright sunshine, Oyuphomos recounted the strange dreams of the night: the clod of earth that Thelotoni had given him seemed to be full of milk in his breast, and had life, and had grown into a lovely maiden, and she said to him, "I am the daughter of Telitoni and Libia." Leave me to the daughter of Nereus, the god of the sea, and let me live on the sea near Anafer. Then I will live in the sunshine again and support your children and grandchildren. Because the island they had just anchored on was called Anafer, Iasong immediately understood the meaning of the dream.

He persuaded his friend to throw the mud in his arms into the sea. Oyuformoth did as he was told. Ah, behold! Before the eyes of the heroes, an island of abundant vegetation grew out of the sea. They called it Calliste, which means the prettiest island. Later, Oyufermos lived on the island with his descendants.

This is the final adventure of the heroes of Algot. Soon they reached the island of Izina, from where they entered the Gulf of Iorcas safely. Iason's ship of Argo was laid on the Strait of Kozhentos and sacrificed to Poseidon, the god of the sea. After the days had passed, and the ship had been broken into ashes, the gods had placed it in the sky, and it shone brightly in the southern sky, becoming a shining star.

Iasonn was unable to claim the throne of Iorcas, despite his perilous voyage to the throne, taking Medea from her father and brutally murdering her brother Abu Sultos.

He had to cede the kingdom to Acastos, the son of Polyas, and fled to Kozhentos with his young wife. Here they lived for ten years, and Medea bore him three sons, the first two twins, named Thesaros and Alchimenas, and the third son, Tisantelos, who was still young. During this time, Medea won the favor and respect of her husband because of her young beauty, noble character, and proper manners. But as she grew older and her charm waned, Iason fell in love with Glauck, the beautiful daughter of King Creon of Kozhintos. Iason, who asked Medea to marry her. The king agreed to the marriage and chose a date for the marriage, and it was only then that he made up his mind and persuaded his wife Medea to break the engagement.

He swears that it's not that he's disgusted with her, but that he's thinking about the children. He had to marry the royal family. When Medea heard this, she was furious and called out to the gods to testify of the oath he had made to her, but Iason, despite this, was ready to marry the king's daughter.

Medea was desperate and anxious in her husband's palace. "Oh my God, how can I survive? Let death have mercy on me! Oh, my father, my homeland, I have despised you for leaving! Ah, brother, I killed you, and your blood is now flowing against me! But it is not my husband Iason, who should punish me, I have sinned for his sake, O O Goddess of Justice, destroy him, destroy his young mistress! “

She was wandering around the palace angrily when Iason's new father-in-law, King Creon, approached her. "You hate your husband!" Creon said, "Take your son with you at once, and leave my country." I will not go back unless I drive you out of my borders. Medea suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Why are you afraid that I will do evil, Creon?" You have done nothing bad to me, you have not incurred a debt to me.

You took a fancy to that man and married your daughter to him, why should I blame you? I just hate my husband. But the wood is done, I hope they can live like husband and wife. Just let me still live in your kingdom, and even if I suffer great humiliation, I will remain silent and submit to the fate arranged by the strong against the weak! “

Creon saw that her eyes were full of hatred and did not believe her words. Even as Medea hugged his knees and swore by the name of his daughter Glauck, the king still couldn't believe her. "Go away!" He said, "Don't let me be left behind!" Medea had no choice but to ask him to postpone it for a day so that she could find a place for the children. The king thought for a moment and said, "I am not a heartless man. There have been many times when I have foolishly made concessions out of mercy and tolerance.

Now too, I don't think it's smart to let you put off for a day. But I'll let you do it. “

Medea received the postponement of a day's banishment she had hoped for, and became arrogant again. There's a plan she's had in her head, but she's not ready to adopt it, and now she's decided to make it happen. First, she wanted to make a final effort to point out the fault to her husband so that he could change his mind. She went up to him and said, "You have betrayed me, and now you have found a bride and abandoned all your children. If you didn't have children, I could have forgiven you, but now I can't forgive you. Do you think that the gods who listen to you swear to love no longer exist? Do you think that now that there is a new law, you can break your vows? Now, I ask you as if you were a friend, where do you want me to go? Do you want to send me back to my father? That's where I turned my back on him and killed his son for you. Have you forgotten? Where else do you have for me to stay? If your ex-wife led your son around like a beggar, what would be your face? “

Iason was indifferent. He only promised to give her and her children a sum of money, and wrote letters to friends everywhere to take her in. Medea was dismissive of this kind of rescue. "you, you're doing yourself." She said, "Go get married, your wedding will be painful!" She left and regretted what she had just said, not because she had changed her mind, but because she was worried that her words would arouse Iazon's suspicions.

So she asked Iason, and said to him in a gentle tone, "Iason, forgive me for what I just said." I was angry and said something hurtful, and I now understand that what you are doing is for our benefit. We are in exile here, with nothing, and you want to be happy for you, for your children, and ultimately for me through a new marriage.

Well, in the future you can take the children back and let them live with the stepmother's children. I think you're going to have children. Children, come, come, kiss your father and forgive him as I have forgiven him! “

Iason, who really thought she had forgiven him, was overjoyed and made all sorts of assurances to Medea and the children. Medea convinces him in sweeter language that she no longer holds a grudge against him. She begged her husband to leave the child in the palace and let her leave alone. In order to obtain the consent of the king and Glauk, she took out many precious golden robes from her storeroom and gave them to Iason, who gave them to the bride as gifts. Iasong hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

He sent a servant to give the gift to the bride. But these precious robes were sewn from materials soaked in potions. After saying goodbye to her husband in a pretense of farewell, Medea waited for the news of the bride's acceptance of the gifts. There was a reliable servant who would tell her the news. The servant finally came out of breath, and shouted from a distance: "Medea, get on the boat, get away!" Your female enemy and her father are dead.

When your son and Iason walked into the bride's room, we, the servants, were delighted, and the resentment was finally removed. The king's daughter was very happy to see your husband, but when she saw the child, she covered her eyes with a veil and turned her face away, not wanting to take care of the child. Iazon tried to comfort her, and said a lot of kind things for you, and showed her the gifts. When the king's daughter saw the beautiful golden robe, she was overjoyed and immediately agreed to all the requests made by the bridegroom. As soon as her husband and son were gone, she looked greedily at the wonderful robes, draped her cloak over her body, put a golden wreath over her head, and looked up and down in front of the mirror with joy.

Later, she walked happily around the room, proud of her new clothes like a little girl. But her joy vanished suddenly, and she was pale, her limbs spasmed, and she staggered back, and before she could reach her chair, she fell to the ground with a thud, rolled her eyes, and foamed at the mouth. Everyone was stunned. The servants hurried to the king, and several others hurried to call her fiancé. Suddenly, the wreath she wore on her head erupted into flames, and the flames made her flesh creak. When the king arrived sadly, he saw his daughter's body burned and deformed.

In desperation, the king threw himself on his daughter and embraced her, but he was poisoned by the beautiful dress on her and died. What is the situation with Iason, I don't know yet. When the servant finished speaking of these things in one breath, Medea did not dissolve her hatred, and the anger of revenge was fanned even more. Like a goddess of vengeance, she hurried out, ready to deal a fatal blow to her husband and herself. She first came to her son's bedroom, and it was getting late. “

O my heart, do not be soft. "Why hesitate to do this terrible but necessary thing?" she said to herself. Forget that they are your children, forget that you are the mother who gave birth to them, just forget them in this moment, and you can cry for them for the rest of your life! If you don't kill them, they will die at the hands of their enemies. “

As Iason hurried home to avenge Medea for his young bride, he heard the screams of children coming from inside. He ran to their house and saw his son lying in a pool of blood, slain like a sacrificial offering. He searched for Medea in the house, but found nothing. In despair, Iason left his home when he heard a noise in the air. He looked up and saw the terrible murderer. She sat on a dragon chariot summoned by magic, rose into the sky, and left the world where she had taken revenge by all means. Unable to punish her, Iason, in despair, resurfaced the murder of Absirtos. He had no other choice, so he drew his sword and killed himself, dying on the threshold of his house. (To be continued.) )
