  1. Alcimede

    In Greek mythology , Alcimede lang grc mighty cunning was one of the matrilineal Minyans Minyan daughters, the daughter of Clymene , Minyas mythology Minyas daughter. She was the mother of Jason by Aeson , whom she met in the caves below Iolcus in Thessaly , a chthonic lair where the rightful king Aeson had been imprisoned by his evil half brother Pelias . The old story of Alcimede s son Jason and the quest for the golden fleece is most familiar from a late version, the Argonautica of Apollonius of Rhodes . A hint of matrilineal descent in archaic times among the Boeotia n Minyans of Greece, is in Apollonius aside concerning Jason s heritage So many then were the helpers who assembled to join the son of Aeson. All the chiefs the dwellers thereabout called Minyae, for the most and the bravest avowed that they were sprung from the blood of the daughters of Minyas thus Jason himself was the son of Alcimede who was born of Clymene the daughter of Minyas. Argonautica Book iii, 11.228 233 A further hint of archaic matrilineal descent is that Clymene s consort is offered in two versions she was usually cast as the wife of Phylacus son of Deioneus , son of Aeolus or in some versions, Aeson was fathered by Cephalus , otherwise the consort of Procris. Along with Aeson, Alcimede was forced by the usurping Pelias to commit suicide. She hanged herself or else drank, along with her husband and the child Promachus , of bull s blood and so died.
