=== Medea (Μήδεια, Mḗdeia; /ˈmiːdiə/) === A pivotal figure in the success of Jason's quest is '''Medea''', the daughter of King '''Aeëtes''' of Colchis (the keeper of the fleece) and a powerful sorceress. She falls in love with Jason, often attributed to the machinations of the goddess '''[[Hera]]''' (Ἥρα, Hḗra; /ˈhɛrə/), and decides to help him. Medea provides Jason with the knowledge and means to overcome the trials set by her father, including the yoking of fire-breathing bulls and sowing dragon's teeth soldiers. Their return journey to Iolcus involves further adventures and challenges, cementing the legend of Jason and the Argonauts in the annals of Greek mythology.
