They fought among themselves until all were dead.
Medea then led Jason to the place where the
Golden Fleece hung, guarded by a terrible dragon.
Using a magic potion, Medea put the dragon to sleep,
allowing Jason to secure the precious trophy.
Jason and the Argonauts went to sea, accompanied
by Medea, and pursued by King Aeetes.
Medea slew
her brother, Absyrtus, who had accompanied them.
She cut his body into pieces and flung them into the
sea and onto the surrounding land, knowing that
Aeetes would gather up the dismembered pieces of
his son’s body to give them a ceremonial burial.
Thus
the Argonauts escaped with the Golden Fleece, and
returned it to Iolcus..
