Absyrtus

Absyrtus (also Apsyrtus) was the son of Aeëtes and a brother of Medea. To facilitate Jason's escape from Colchis, Medea cut Absyrtus into pieces and threw them in the way of her father, who paused to pick them up. Another version of the myth states that instead of Medea killing her brother, she told him she had been kidnapped and to rescue her from a certain spot. When he had been lured there, Jason ambushed him and killed him. Other related archivesAeëtes, Colchis, Medea
