How did the golden fleece end up in Colchis?

The Boeotian king Afamant had two children from his marriage with the cloud goddess Nephele - Phrix and Hella. His second wife Ino hated the children and set out to destroy them. She persuaded the women of Boeotia to roast the seeds prepared for sowing, which caused a crop failure.

When Athamas sent envoys to the oracle to find out the cause of the disaster, the treacherous Ino bribed them, and they told the king a false answer: the land would only become fertile when Phrixus was sacrificed to Zeus on Mount Laphistius. The people of Boeotia demanded the death of the prince - and Athamas, lamenting loudly, led his son to the top of the mountain. When the king was about to cut his son's throat, a winged golden-fleece ram suddenly appeared, sent by Nephele (according to another version, by Zeus himself). By order of the ram, Frix climbed on his back, put his sister in front of him, and all three rushed to the east. As they flew over the strait separating Europe and Asia, Gella became dizzy and fell into the water.

The strait was named after her - the Hellespont (now the Dardanelles). Frix safely reached the possessions of King Eet in Colchis, on the eastern coast of the Black Sea. There he met with a warm welcome and married Princess Halkiope, who bore him four sons. Fulfilling the instructions of the divine ram (according to another version, his mother Nephele), Frix sacrificed it to Zeus, and hung the golden fleece in the sacred grove of Ares under the protection of the never-sleeping fire-breathing dragon.

Subsequently, the oracle warned King Eet that he was destined to die at the hands of a stranger, and the king killed his son-in-law.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food.
