It's all to do with the curse and not worshipping some goddess and getting punished and a bad smell. So the Argonauts arrive their first stop and all these women are there. This is great stuff. So they hang around there having fun. for a while. And the only woman who didn't kill her father is Hypsipyle, who is the kind of queen of Lemnos. And she has a little dalliance with Jason.
And he's going to have two kids by her. So this is really interesting because, of course, Medea will kill his children, spoiler alert, later on. But these two children, one of them is the one who goes to fight at Troy. So that's where that son comes from. So they have fun on Lemnis. And finally, Heracles says, guys, come on, we got a quest. Let's go. So they all go.

Yeah, great, great, great question. Well, you've got Castor and Polydeuces, also known as Castor and Pollux, who are slightly problematic because they're supposed to be the brothers of Helen of Troy, but she's the next generation, isn't she, if they're the generation before Troy? We'll just skim over that. So Castor and Polydeuces, who are good at boxing and they're good at horse riding.

And each of these heroes has a fun kind of talent. And one of them, there are two sons of Boreas. who are called Zetes and Palaeus, and they can fly. And they have purple wings. According to Pindar, they have purple wings. Now, they'll come into play when... Jason meets the harpies when they chase the harpies away. And Apollonius totally blows it.

He could have a great scene where they're flying after the harpies and stuff, but he just has them kind of ambiguously chasing the harpies. So those guys can fly. Then there's another guy I mentioned called Euphemus, and he's the son of Poseidon. He can walk on the water.

Is that not cool? I mean, I can totally see a film of these guys. You know, two guys can fly with purple wings. One guy can walk on the water. And then you've got Orpheus, of course, who plays music so beautifully that when they come to the island of the sirens, instead of having to plug up their ears with wax like Odysseus, he can kind of play his music and overwhelm their siren song.

Only one guy jumps in the water to get to them. So there's some really cool other heroes, I think. So I said Castor and Pollux, Orpheus, Heracles, Zetes and Callais, and of course, Euphemus, who can walk on water. And then Atalanta, according to some versions, but not in Apollonius' version.
