Jason, the son of Aeson, king of Iolchos, having come to man's estate, demanded of Pelias his father's kingdom, which he held wrongfully. But Pelias answered, that if he would bring from Colchis the golden fleece of the ram that had carried Phryxus thither, he would yield him his right. Whereon Jason sailed to Colchis in the ship Argo, with other heroes, and by means of Medea, the king's daughter, won the fleece; and carried off also Medea; and so, after many troubles, came back to Iolchos again. There, by Medea's wiles, was Pelias slain; but Jason went to Corinth, and lived with Medea happily, till he was taken with the love of Glauce, the king's daughter of Corinth, and must needs wed her; whom also Medea destroyed, and fled to Aegeus at Athens; and not long after Jason died strangely.

William Morris
William Morris foi um dos pricipais fundadores do Movimento das Artes e Ofícios britânico. Ele era pintor - de papéis de parede, tecidos padronizados e livros - além de escritor de poesia e ficção e um dos fundadores do movimento socialista na Inglaterra. Participante do movimento Pré-Rafaelita, Morris é lembrado pela poesia, romance de dantasia e pelas traduções que fez de textos islandeses. Considera-se que o livro de Morris, The Wood Between the Worlds, tenha influenciado a série Narnia de C. S. Lewis, enquanto que J. R. R. Tolkien foi inspirado pelas reconstruções de Morris da vida germânica primitiva em The House of the Wolfings e The Roots of the Mountains.
