In the way, it had to cross a river where it lost one of its sandals. When arriving at the city, it was called by its Pelias uncle and this one, when occurring account of which that one could be the man who announced oráculo, decided to move away it of its earth sending it to a difficult mission: to travel until Cólquida (on the foot of The Caucasus), and to bring there of the vellocino of gold, that had been the skin of a fabulous sheep that had saved life a Frixo, ancestor of Pelias, and had transferred it to the Cólquida. There Frixo offered in sacrifice a this sheep and soon gave the skin of the animal, that era of gold, to the king Eetes, which it deposited to him in a tree guarded by two bulls that threw fire by the mouth and a serpent that never slept.

It ordered a to him Argus, son of Frixo, the construction of the ship that received the name of Argon in tribute to its constructor. And from the name of the ship they took the one as well of Argonautas (marine of Argon) the heroes whom in her they embarked. Reunited because the Argonautas, put to sea in the direction of the Cólquida.
Not much later they arrived at the island from Lemnos, where they only inhabited women. The queen, Hipsípila, that one fell in love with Jasón, she told him that the women of the island had been punished by the goddess , when not rendering to him cultured, impregnating them of a so disagreeable scent that the men had rejected them, being united with women of the neighboring islands. In revenge, lemnias killed the men of the island. The Argonautas remained with them a time and soon they left.
After passing by some countries, they arrived a Salmideso where they found a Fineo, blind person and fortune teller, to whom the Argonautas helped to undo of Harpías, flying monsters with woman face, claws and wings, that, fulfilling a punishment imposed by the Gods, they prevented that Fineo could be fed.
Fineo, in gratefulness, informed to the Argonautas on the way to follow until the Cólquida and in addition it said to them how they could surpass the danger that waited for when arriving to them at Blue Rocks, two enormous floating rocky crags in continuous movement that hit to each other squashing to all those that they tried to happen among them.
Surpassed east obstacle, they arrived at the Cólquida. Jasón announced its king, Eetes, its intention. This one said to him that it would let take to him vellocino of gold if before it were able to uncir both to bulls that guarded it, to plow a field with them, to throw on the furrows teeth that had given to the king and soon to overcome a serpent that never slept and that remained on the foot of the tree where found the vellocino. Medea, the daughter of king Eetes, who was wizard, fell in love enthusiastically with Jasón and helped this one to take to good term her feat (previous commitment of Jasón to take it with himself to Yolcos), putting in practice her witchcraft.
Magician gave to Jasón one pócima so that the monstrous bulls did not do damage to him. Having been able to uncir to the bulls, it sent the teeth on the furrows done in the Earth. Of them they brought forth hundreds of armed men who sent themselves against the hero, but this one, following the instructions of Medea, threw a stone among them and the armies faced to each other. Soon, Medea caused a terrible dream to the serpent, Jasón seized of the appraised skin and fled with its men, Medea and the brother of this one, Apsirto, in its boat. The men of Eetes persecuted to the ship and Medea killed its brother, it broke it and it threw it to the sea. King Eetes gathered the rest of his son and lost of Vista to the Argonautas.
After this, the Argonautas diverse dangers undertook the return drawing for: storms, the siege of the Sirens, the attack of the monsters Escila and Caribdis. Finally they arrived at Yolcos. There Pelias received from Jasón the vellocino and soon it died, at hands of its own daughters, due to a ruse of Medea. Then Jasón and Medea fled to Corinto. They had two children. But later Jasón repudió to its woman to marry with Glauca, daughter of the king of Corinto. Medea, to take revenge itself, ended with the life of Glauca and the one of the children whom it had had with Jasón.
