of her any more as the one who had been his companion on the Argo。 He 

thought of her as one who could help him and do wonderful things for him察

but not as one whom he could talk softly and lovingly to。 Ah察but if Jason 

had thought less of his kingdom and less of his triumphing with the Fleece 

of Gold察Medea would not have had the dragons come to her。 

     And     now    that   his  love   for   Medea     had   altered察  Jason    noted    the 

loveliness     of  anotherof     Glauce察   the  daughter     of  Creon察   the  King    of 

Corinth。 And   Glauce察  who   had   red   lips   and   the   eyes   of   a   child察  saw   in 

Jason   who   had   brought   the   Golden   Fleece   out   of   Colchis   the   image   of 

every hero she had heard about in stories。 Creon察the king察often brought 

Jason and Glauce together察for his hope was that the hero would wed his 

daughter and stay in Corinth and strengthen his kingdom。 He thought that 

Medea察that strange woman察could not keep a companionship with Jason。 

     Two   were   walking   in   the   king's   garden察  and   they   were   Jason   and 

Glauce。 A  shadow   fell   betwen   them察  and   when   Jason   looked   up   he   saw 

Medea's dragon   car。   Down   flew   the   dragons察  and   Medea   came   from  the 

car and stood between Jason and the princess。 Angrily she spoke to him。 ;I 

have made the kingdom ready for your return察─she said察 but if you would 

go   there   you    must   first  let   me  deal   in   my  own   way   with   this   pretty 

maiden。;   And   so   fiercely   did   Medea   look   upon   her   that   Glance   shrank 

back and clung to Jason for protection。 ;O察Jason察─she cried察 ─thou didst 

say that I am such a one as thou didst dream of when in the forest with 

Chiron察before the adventure of the Golden Fleece drew thee away from 

the Grecian lands。 Oh察save me now from the power of her who comes in 

the dragon car。; And Jason said此 I said all that thou hast said察and I will 

protect thee察O Glauce。; 

     And then Medea thought of the king's house she had left for Jason察and 

of the brother whom she had let be slain察and of the plot she had carried 

out to bring Jason back to Iolcus察and a great fury came over her。 In her 

hand she took foam from the jaws of the dragons察and she cast the foam 

upon   Glauce察 and   the   princess   fell back   into the   arms   of   Jason   with   the 

dragon foam burning into her。 

     Then察seeing in his eyes that he had forgotten all that he owed to her

the    winning    of   the  Golden     Fleece察   and   the   safety   of  Argo察   and   the 

destruction of the power of King Pelias seeing in his eyes that Jason had 

forgotten   all   this察  Medea   went   into   her   dragon´borne   car   and   spoke   the 

words that made the scaly dragons bear her aloft。 She flew from Corinth察

leaving Jason in King Creon's garden with Glauce dying in his arms。 He 

lifted her up and laid her upon a bed察but even as her friends came around 

her the daughter of King Creon died。 

     And Jason拭For long he stayed in Corinth察a famous man indeed察but 

one sorrowful   and   alone。   But   again there grew   in   him  the   desire   to   rule 

and to have possessions。 He called around him again the men whose home 

was in Iolcusthose who had followed him as bright´eyed youths when he 

first   proclaimed   his   purpose   of   winning   the   Fleece   of   Gold。   He   called 

them   around   him察  and   he   led   them   on   board   the Argo。   Once   more   they 

lifted sails察and once more they took the Argo into the open sea。 

     Toward Iolcus they sailed察their passage was fortunate察and in a short 

time they brought the Argo safely into the harbor of Pagasae。 Oh察happy 

were the crowds that came thronging to see the ship that had the famous 

Fleece of Gold upon her masthead察and green and sweet smelling were the 

garlands   that   the   people   brought   to   wreathe   the   heads   of   Jason   and   his 

companions Jason looked upon the throngs察and he thought that much had 

gone   from   him察  but   he   thought   that   whatever   else   had   gone   something 

remained to himto be a king and a great ruler over a people。 

     And so Jason came back to Iolcus。 The Argo he made a blazing pile of 

in sacrifice to Poseidon察the god of the sea。 The Golden Fleece he hung in 

the   temple   of   the   gods。   Then   he   took   up   the   rule   of   the   kingdom   that 

Cretheus had founded察and he became the greatest of the kings of Greece。 

     And to Iolcus there came察year after year察young men who would look 

upon   the   gleaming   thing   that   was   hung   there   in   the  temple   of   the   gods。 

And   as   they   looked   upon   it察  young   man   after   young   man察  the   thought 

would come to each that he would make himself strong enough and heroic 

enough to win for his country something as precious as Jason's GOLDEN 

FLEECE。 And for  all their lives   they kept   in mind the  words that   Jason 

had inscribed upon a pillar that was placed beside the Fleece of Goldthe
