Definition
A son of king Aietes (Aeetes) and the nymph, Asterodeia; half-brother of the sorceress, Medea and Khalkiope (Chalciope).
The people of Kolkhis (Colchis) called him Phaethon (which may be rendered as Shining One); after Iason (Jason) and the Argonauts took the Golden Fleece and fled Kolkhis, Aietes sent Apsyrtos with a fleet of ships to capture them; Apsyrtos’ half-sister, Medea, assisted Iason with her magical powers and went with him when he fled.
When the Argonauts were finally cornered and feared a direct confrontation with Apsyrtos and his numerous ships, Iason and Medea devised a treacherous plan where they would meet with Apsyrtos and she would pretend surrender herself to him while jason waited in ambush; as Medea was talking to Apsyrtos, jason attacked and killed him; without a leader, the pursuers lost their momentum and the Argonauts made their escape. |
