Summary

The end of the story of Jason, Medea, and the Argonauts. Things have been pretty easy for Jason. Medea solved all of his problems before he even knew he had them on the Argo, and her fairly violent murder-by-proxy of Pelias secured Iolcus for Jason's father. It would probably be a very bad idea to cheat on Medea, right? Hard times are about to catch up with Jason. The creature of the week is the selkie, and they will either give you a tragically beautiful story to tell your half-seal children, or curse your entire island...depending on how creepy you are.

This week, on the Myths and Legends podcast, we're finishing the story of Jason and the

0:10.8

Argonauts by only looking at two Argonauts. Jason and Medea, you'll see that cheating on a

0:16.0

witch known for her creative ruthlessness is a very bad idea, and that the bar for Father of the

0:20.8

Year and Greek mythology continues to be startlingly low. The creature this week is the selky.

0:26.4

You'll wonder if that good looking seal at the beach might just be kind of into you.

0:30.2

Also, buying beautiful mythological creatures wearing seal skins, that's not really a thought

that you should be having.

for the Golden Fleece. On that quest, Medea, the daughter of the King who owned the Fleece,

1:23.6

1:28.7

to help him get the fleece. When they got back to E-Ocus, she returned Jason's Father to youth,

1:34.4

and tricked Jason's uncle's daughters into murdering their Father, the one who would usurped
