They say that with the music of his voice he enchanted stubborn mountain rocks and rushing streams.Earlier bards whose songs still live tell how Argos built the ship under the guidance of Athena.He hoped that things might so fall out, either at sea or in outlandish parts, that Jason would never see his home again.
And no sooner did the king see him than he thought of the oracle and decided to send him on a perilous adventure overseas.Jason, fording the Anaurus in a winter spate, lost one of his sandals, which stuck in the bed of the flooded river, but saved the other from the mud and shortly after appeared before the king. He had heard an oracle which warned him of a dreadful fate – death through the machinations of the man whom he should see coming from the town with one foot bare. Moved by the god of song, I set out to commemorate the heroes of old who sailed the good ship Argo up the Straits into the Black Sea and between the Cyanean Rocks in quest of the Golden Fleece.Argos built the ship under the guidance of Athena.
