The Symplegades

Arrival at Colchis Hera & Athena scheme to help the Argonauts Aphrodite bribes Eros for help in the goddess’ scheme Jason plans to ask King Aeetes of Colchis for help Aeetes test the Argonauts & plans to kill them

The things we do for Love (1) The Argonauts urge Jason to get Medea’s help Medea’s dream & Chalciope’s advice Medea prepares a charm & meets Jason

The next day… Jason yokes the bulls & sows the dragon’s teeth Relations between the dragon-men get rocky!

In for a penny, in for a pound! Medea flees to Jason, Gets his promise of marriage And helps him get the fleece
