Island of Cres

Once upon a time there was a king who possessed a golden fleece. A brave young man called Jason and his Argonauts, helped by the king's daughter Medea, stole the golden fleece from the king and fled on board their ship 'Argo'. Apsyrtus, the king's son set off in pursuit of the robbers. Medea, in love with Jason, tricked her brother Apsyrtus into a trap, and Jason killed him. Medea dismembered her brother's dead body and scattered his limbs into the sea. Apsyrtus' isalands, the Apsyrtides, were created out of Apsyrtus' dismembered body.
