Circe's the witch, of course, who had Odysseus on her island for quite a while and did lots of fun things with him. But she is now the one who can purify them. So they've now got to go to the home of Circe somewhere off the western coast of Italy. So that's another one of the tropes, the cleansing of Absurtus's murder by Jason and Medea.

They then sail up the river Eridamus, which is the Po, and then they go over the Alps somehow. Don't ask me how. Down the Rhône, the Rhône River, and then down by the Tyrrhenian Sea. That's where they meet Circe, according to Apollonius. Then they're going down to the home of the Sirens, which is down on the shin of Italy, again in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Then they go through Scylla and Charybdis, and they go up to Drapane. I'm looking at the map here because there's no other way to understand it. Drapane is, again, near Albania or maybe Corfu. Then they sail down to Syrtis, and that's how they get to North Africa.

They get blown off course, and that's where Jason meets three nymphs, the guardians of Libya, and he's instructed to carry the Argo across the desert. And then they go to Lake Triton, which is where they meet Triton, the son of Poseidon, who reveals a secret passage back to the sea. We're almost done here. You'll be glad to hear the end is in sight.

Now we get one of the best bits where they go to Crete and they meet Talos, the bronze man. And he is amazing. And in the film, Jason and the Argonauts, he appears at the very beginning. And there's this amazing scene of, I don't know if you've ever seen it, but he's like this giant bronze crouching statue on a treasure house.

And when Heracles steals a golden pin, his head turns with a horrible metallic creaking and he gets down off his plinth and follows them. Like if you can imagine the Colossus of Rhodes, a great gigantic bronze statue. clomping after tiny ant-like men. It's absolutely brilliant, chilling, fantastic.

And in the film, Jason conquers him by unplugging a plug in his heel and letting out the ichor, the magic juice or blood. But in Apollonius... He's vanquished by Medea, who from a distance from the ship gives him the evil eye using magical incantations and calling down spirits of death. And she uses her eye beams and curses him.

And he then scratches his vulnerable ankle vein on a rock and the ichor flows out. He crashes to the ground like a great pine tree. coming down at night on the top of a mountain. So he's a wonderful character. Thales, there are different origins for him. One is that Hephaestus made him. And I like the origin that he's made to guard the island of Crete, which he can run around three times each day.
