While the ship of Argo was sailing along, Jason and the Argonauts went through numerous adventures, but since they always were forthcoming, they were given a lot of valuable information for their course and could past any obstacle they encountered on their way.

When they reached Colchis, King of Colchis Aetes pretended to be friendly at first although he didn’t really want to give up the Golden Fleece. He therefore set Jason an impossible task: to plow the field with two fire-breathing bulls and then to sow he field with the teeth of a dragon, while armed men would be growing like plants.

The feat seemed to be impossible, but Jason was not alone. Medea, the daughter of Aetes who posessed magic powers, had fallen in love with Jason and helped the hero through by giving him a magic stone to throw to the armed men. By doing so, Jason managed to accomplish Aetes’ order successfully.
