Once we were safe from my fathers’ land, we sailed for Iolcus. Jason was so handsome. Watching him as the wind blew through his hair, no wonder I loved him so much. I could not wait to meet his mother and help him reclaim his throne. I would then be a queen!

            When we landed safely at Ioclus, Jason and the Argonauts were so happy to finally be home. Jason was ready to go right to King Pelias and give him the Golden Fleece. Shortly after he arrived, Jason received some bad news. Jason was told that King Pelias had killed his father and soon there after his mother died of grief. Jason was very angry once he received the news.

            Jason asked me for assistance in killing Pelias. I went to Pelias’s daughters and told them that I could make their father young again. I had to show them that I could perform this miracle. I cut up and boiled an old sheep and then added some magic herbs. Suddenly a young lamb leaped out of the pot. The girls were stunned by this amazing trick. The daughters of Pelias were convinced that I could make their father young again.

            That night the girls made a sleeping potion that put their father in a deep sleep. Then they cut Pelias up and placed him into a pot. I started to boil him, but I did not place the magic herbs in that would make him young. Pelias did not return back to life. The prophecy that Pelias would be killed by a family member was fulfilled.

            After Jason claimed the throne, we were happy for a short time. But our love did not last. Jason fell in love with a princess from Corinth and wanted to marry her. Despite all I did for him, he did not love me anymore.

            I was furious with Jason. On Jason’s wedding day, I sent his bride a beautiful robe laced with poison. When the princess put the robe on, she burst into flames, causing her to die. I thought Jason would return to me, but he did not.

            Jason and I had two children. Since I killed Jason’s bride I knew he would not treat them well. To prevent them from becoming slaves, I killed them both. Jason was left alone and mourning the loss of his bride and two children.

            Jason was not in favor of the Gods anymore because he did not keep his promise to me. Even Hera who helped Jason throughout his quest was not pleased with him anymore. Jason became a friendless and homeless man. Jason returned to his ship that took him around the sea in search of the Golden Fleece. The Argo was now in shambles. The prow of the ship suddenly fell on Jason and killed him. I was happy to see him die, he treated me horribly.

            The Golden Fleece hung in the temple of Zeus long after Jason’s death. All of Greece could see the remarkable item and they could remember the feats of Jason and the Argonauts.
