From a young age, I have journeyed throughout the world in search of my rightful place. I wanted to claim my right as king. After reaching age, I began my search for the Golden Fleece and came to know one of the sweetest and most deceitful women in the world.
The Golden Fleece was perhaps one of the greatest adventures that I have been on. The King Pelias has taken my throne and I must take it back however, I can. To get the fleece the king has just told me that I must do three things that only a god could do. What should I do, I am afraid of what might happen to me. Little did I know that Zeus blessed my jorney and that is when she came into my life?
What have I done? Medea is one of the most beautiful women that I have ever seen with my eyes and when she agreed to help me, I thought that the God's were smiling down on me.
I promised that I would marry her in return, what was I thinking? She sent my bride a dress that consumed my love and her father in flames, but she did not stop there. She then killed my children. What could I have done to change these events? I should have done as I said because no doubt that is a mistake that will eventually cost me my life.
What am I to learn from all of this? Should I have told a woman that would go against her own father that I would love her forever? Trusting am I to believe that she would never to against me as well, this entire mistake is going to also cause a lot of grief from the Gods, especially Hera.
