Phrixus

“I like that story too. But I also like the story of the golden ram that tried to save the children Phrixus and Helle. It was so sad that Helle fell to her death, but Phrixus reached safety.”

Phrixus had an uncle who was by rights a king in Greece, but had had his kingdom taken away from him by his nephew, a man named Pelias.

“So shall it be. But one thing must first be done. The dead Phrixus bids us bring back the Golden Fleece and thus bring back his spirit to his home. The oracle has spoken. But for me, already old age is my companion, while the flower of your youth is only now coming into full bloom. Do you go upon this quest, and I swear with Zeus as witness that I will give up the kingdom and the sovereign rule to you.”

She was the wicked stepmother of Phrixus, the boy who was saved from death by the ram of the Golden Fleece.

Nephele, the first wife, was afraid for her two children, especially the boy, Phrixus.
