The Month of Juno

man who came to him wearing only
one sandal Jason boldly claimed the
throne for his father, and Pelias, aus
euisinc his fear and anger, invited
him to his palace, where they could
decide the matter. During the banquet
which followed Jason heard the story
of PhriXus and Helle, two children
who had escaped from their cruel step
mother on winged ram with Soldeh
fleece. which bore them far away from
their home. AS they passed over the
sea the girl Helle fell from the ram
hack into the part of the sea ever
since known as the Hellespont, now
the Dardanelles. PhriXus reached
Colchis. at the eastern end of the
Black Sea, in safety, and there sacrl'
feed the ram to the gods and hung us
golden fleece on a tree which stood IN
a poisonous wood guarded by SER
pent.
The cunning Pelias dared Jason to
try to win the Golden Fleece, hoping
that thus he would be rid of him for
ever. Jason in his excitement forgot
the crime which he had come 10
avenge and recklessly promised 10
bring the fleece to Pelias. With the
help of Juno he gathered together the
famous band known as the Argonauts'
so called from the name of their ship,
the Argo, and set out for Colchls.
Upon their arrival they Immediately
went to the king with their Grand
The king, unwilling to part with the
wonderful fleece. told them Jason
would first be required to catch two
wild, fire-breathing bulls with hools
of brass, harness them to a plough
and make them plough a field: then ne
must sow the field with serpents
teeth, from which would spring up
armed men whom he must conquer,
and finally he must kill the serpent
which guarded the fleece Jason was
not discouraged, but returned to ms
ship to think out how he might fulnil
the conditions.
While on his way to the shore ne
met the kings daughter, Medea. VINO
possessed magic power. Medea fell IN
love with Jason and told him how ne
could perform the tasks her fatner
had set. The next day Jason. relying
on Medea's help, faced the bulls WITH
out fear, seized them by the horns
and, after a great struggle, harnessed
them to a plough. AS soon as ne nau
ploughed the field he soWed the ser
pentS' teeth and when the armed men
sprang up on all sides he threw MS
helmet among them, whereupon, at
the end of the skirmish, they all lay
dead. NIedea then took Jason to the
tree where the fleece was fastened, and'
soothing the terrible serpent by her
magic, enabled him to cut off It's head.
Jason quickly snatched the Golden
Fleece and with Medea fastened away.
They wandered far and suffered many
misfortunes. but through Juno's help
at last reached their native land. ia
