Medea’s brother Absyrtus, the Don Jr. of Ancient Greece, and his squadron of ships chased the Argos as it fled from Cholis with Jason, Medea, and the Golden Fleece onboard.

To elude Abysyrus’ and King Aietes’ other ships, the Argonauts rowed against the current of a tributary of the Danube River. They exhausted themselves and had to rest. Aysyrtus’s pursuing squadron closed in on them. JASON & MEDEA ENTRAPPED & MURDERED ABSYRTUS

Absyrus sent Jason an offer: You keep the Fleece; give me Medea to execute for all to see in Cholis.
Jason and his men took Medea to a nearby temple of the Goddess Artemis, tied her up at the base of Artemis’ statue, and (apparently) left the area.
When Absyrus and his escort entered the Temple of Artemis, they found Medea alone at the base of Artemis’s statue. She was bound and sobbing. Abysyrus sent his men outside and tormented Medea with a description of how their father would have her publicly tortured and then put to death in Cholis for all to see how traitors like her die.




Jason emerged from concealment and thrust his sword through Abysyrus’ back, piercing the Prince’s heart. Then Jason, screaming in rage, rushed Absyrus’ guards. The guards fled back to their Camp.


Medea looked away from her brother’s blood-soaked body. Her eyes became unfocused. She said, “The goddess Artemis was offended at Abysyrus‘ body here in her Temple. We must take his body with us.” They took the corpse and ran back to the Argo. The Argonauts furiously rowed again up the river.


King Aietes’ navy pursued and closed in on the Argo. The Argonauts could hear King Aietes yell, You won’t escape with Absyrus’ body.


You can have his body if you retrieve it, Medea yelled. She tossed Abysyrus’ head into the river. Her act was a calculated move, not a display of blind rage.
Aietes retrieved his son’s head, abandoned the chase, and had his squadron retrieve each part of Aietes’ corpse as Medea threw each of her brother’s hands, arms, feet, and legs overboard from the Argus. While Aietes’ men took the time to find each body part, the Argo distanced itself from the King’s squadron.


The bereft King sent half his fleet and ordered the other half to capture the Argo. Get it or you’re dead men, he warned.



✨ The Chase into the Enchanted Danube ✨
By Janet Kira Lessin & Sasha Alex Lessin, Ph.D.
Summary As thunder cracked the heavens, Cholis’ war fleet stormed down the misty Danube, chasing the Argonauts — Jason, Medea, and the stolen Golden Fleece — into an enchanted river tributary. There, deep within mythic forests brimming with ancient power, Jason and Medea sprang a deadly trap: they lured Medea’s brother, Prince Absyrtus, into the sacred Temple of Artemis, where betrayal, blood, and sacrifice would forever bind them to the gods’ wrath. Jason struck the fatal blow; Medea delivered the greater treachery, casting her brother’s severed body parts into the river to delay King Aietes’ pursuing fleet. Through mist, blood, and heartbreak, the Argonauts fled with the Fleece, cursed forever by the gods whose temple they defiled.

🌊 Poem: Mist and Blood on the Danube
Upon the haunted river’s bend, Where gods and mortals dare to wend, A brother’s cry, a sister’s scheme, Shattered trust in mist and dream.
Beneath Artemis’ sorrowed gaze, A sword flashed through the holy haze, A prince fell silent, bound in death, While the gods withheld their sacred breath.
Through mist they fled, through blood they wept, While vengeance through the river crept. Each severed limb has a price to pay— A debt no river could wash away.
