Jason and the Golden Fleece |
Alcimede already had an infant son
named Jason who she saved from being killed by
Pelias, by having women cluster around the newborn
and cry like he was still-born. Alcimede sent her
son to the centaur Chiron for education, for fear
that Pelias would kill him - she claimed that he had
been born lifeless. Pelias, still paranoid that he
would one day be overthrown, consulted an oracle
which warned him to beware of a man coming forth
from the people with only one sandal.......... |
