Pelias was quite scared to see such astranger because he had been warned by a prophet to be careful of a man wearing only oneshoe.He was not surprised when Jason told him who he was and what his business wasabout.The artful Pelias welcomed hisnephew with false pride and joy ;he promised to give upthe kingdom to one who had proved himself worthy of it.And heurged the youth to bring thegolden fleece back from Colchis.He felt quite certain that his nephew would never come backalivefrom the hopeless task.Pelias' prediction was quite right.Jasondied a poor death in thekingdom of Colchis.
半人半马的怪物(Centaur)既英明又公正。他的学生中有个名叫杰森的男孩。杰森是位王子,他的父亲埃宋曾是伊俄卡斯的国王,但后来王位却被他同父异母兄弟珀利阿斯夺去了。因此他把还在襁褓中的儿子送给Centaur照料。还是个孩子时,杰森就参加过捕猎野猪。当他长成一位强壮的小伙,知道自己身世的秘密后,他决定要为父亲所受的不公报仇雪恨。
在返回祖国的路上,他遇到一位老婆婆。她希望能有人帮她渡过山里的一条小溪。出于善良的天性和谦恭有礼的本能,杰森背起老人,淌过了小溪。他并未想到这位老婆婆竟是赫拉本人。因此他在生活的起点便得到了一位神通广大的朋友的帮助和保护。由于他在过河时遗失了一只鞋子,他不得不赤着一只脚走进了珀利阿斯的宫殿。当珀利阿斯看到这个陌生人时,他惊恐异常,因为一位预言家提醒他提防一个只穿了一只鞋的男人。当杰森告诉他自己是谁以及自己此行的目的时,他并没有感到奇怪。狡诈的珀利阿斯带着假惺惺的自豪和喜悦迎接了这位侄子。他发誓说,他愿意放弃王位,但接替他继承王位的人必须能够用事实证明自己确配接受王冠。于是,他怂恿年轻人去科尔切斯取回金羊毛。他断定他的侄子再不会活着回到他面前,因为这根本就是个不可能完成的使命。珀利阿斯的预言千真万确。杰森悲惨地死在科尔切斯王国。

伊俄是河神的女儿,宙斯爱她、追求她、并得到了她。赫拉对此嫉妒不已。一天她飞下奥林波斯山向情敌施加报复。然而宙斯早已预见到她的光临,就将伊俄变成了一头美丽的小白牛犊,赫拉看穿了其中的诡计,非要一头牛犊作为礼物。宙斯无奈,只得让她如愿以偿。赫拉便将牛犊托付给百眼魔鬼阿刚斯看管。阿刚斯的眼睛永远睁着,要想逃脱是不可能的。看到伊俄如此忧郁,宙斯简直无法忍受,便令赫耳墨斯将魔鬼铲除。赫耳墨斯乔装成牧羊人给阿刚斯唱悦耳动听的歌,讲冗长乏味的故事以哄他入睡。之后便寻机杀死魔鬼,释放了伊俄。但赫拉的狂怒并未消除。她派了一只牛虻去攻击牛犊,使她颠沛流离。在十分悲痛之中,牛犊穿越了分隔欧亚大陆的海峡。从此这片狭长的水域被称作博斯普鲁斯海峡,意为牛犊之路。她接着漫游过海,这片大海也就在偶然中有了名称——伊奥尼亚海,最后她到了埃及,并恢复了她本来的体态和容貌。她在那里落户并生了个儿子。她的一些子孙就呆在了埃及,当了很长时间的国王。
