bride with a robe and See also:head-See also:dress, by whose magic properties the wearer was burnt to See also:death, and slew her See also:children by Jason with her own See also:hand. A later See also:story represents Jason as reconciled to Medea (See also:Justin, xlii. 2). His death was said to have been due to See also:suicide through grief, caused by Medea's vengeance (Diod. Sic. iv. 55); or he was crushed by the fall of the See also:poop of the See also:ship " Argo," under which, on the See also:advice of Medea, he had laid himself down to See also:sleep (See also:argument of See also:Euripides' Medea). The name (more correctly Iason) means " healer," and Jason is possibly a See also:local See also:hero of Iolcus to whom healing See also:powers were attributed. The ancients regarded him as the See also:oldest navigator, and the See also:patron of See also:navigation. By the moderns he has been variously explained as a See also:solar deity; a See also:god of summer; a god of See also:storm; a god of See also:rain, who carries off the rain-giving See also:cloud (the See also:golden fleece) to refresh the See also:earth after a See also:long See also:period of drought. Some regard the legend as a chthonian myth, Aea (See also:Colchis) being the under-See also:world in the Aeolic religious See also:system, from which Jason liberates himself and his betrothed; others, in view of certain resemblances between the story of Jason and that of See also:Cadmus (the ploughing of the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf.
