| | The San Antonio College LitWeb Introduction to Euripides' Medea |
 | | Phrixus is well received by Aeëtes the king, who is a son of Helios; brother of Pasiphaë and Circe; and father, by his first wife Asterodea, of a daughter, Chalciope. | | | Phrixus, for his part, sacrifices the ram to Zeus and gives its golden fleece to his father-in-law, who hangs it over a branch in a sacred grove and sets a sleepless serpent as a guardian. | | | Having spoiled the crop by causing the seed to be roasted before it was sown, she arranges for the oracle to report that, in order to avert a famine, Athamas must sacrifice his children (some say only Phrixus) to Zeus. |

| | It was at this time that Phrixus sacrificed the ram that had saved him to Zeus and he gave the golden fleece to King Æetes, who was the Colchian king. | | | The Colchians were kind to Phrixus and they even let him marry one of King Æetes' daughters. | | | At the time of the death of Phrixus and his sister, who was included in this sacrifice, each were taken to the altar. |

| | On hearing this report, Cretheus 1 persuaded his brother Athamas 1 to put Phrixus 1 to death, and, they say, it was then that Nephele 2 intervened to save her son, sending him away on the back of the Ram with the Golden Fleece, along with his sister Helle. | | | When this was known, the people, easily deluded by the promises of the false oracle, demanded from Athamas 1 compliance with it, forcing him to bring his own son to the sacrificial altar. | | | But Ino persuaded the messengers, in one way or another, to falsify the oracle and say that it had been foretold that the dearth would cease if Phrixus 1 were sacrificed. |
