Synopsis

Chapter 1 - chapter-1 The land of gods and mortals

Colchis was a place where the border between mortal and divine blurred, and magic flowed as freely as the breezes that swept across its beautiful plains.Situated on the edge of the known world, the kingdom of Colchis was a place where the natural and the supernatural coexisted in harmony. Its hardy and resourceful people were known for their deep respect for the gods and their mastery of the arcane arts.

The landscape of Colchis was both varied and impressive. Dense, shadowy forests

teemed with life and whispered secrets to those who could listen. Mountains rose in the distance, their snowy peaks touching the sky. The mighty Phasis River bisected the

land, its waters flowing with a sense of purpose and destiny. On its banks golden fields swayed in the wind, indicating the fertility of the land.

The people of Colchis were a proud and independent bunch, deeply attached to their

land and its traditions. They were farmers, warriors, and craftsmen with skilled trades

who continued their empire. They honored the gods, especially Helios, the sun god,

whose favor was essential to their well-being. The landscapes covered temples and altars, places of worship where priests and priestesses performed rituals to honor the god and secure the blessings of the gods

Aeëtes' the great ruler of Colchis, His lineage performed a crucial role in his destiny as a founder and ruler of Colchis. He was the son of Helios, the Titan solar god, and Perseis, an Oceanid. This divine parentage endowed Aeëtes with vast strength and wisdom for a ruler that helped him in founding and governing a newly established realm. Helio, as the omniscient observer of the earth, imparted to Aeëtes a far- accomplishing vision, while Perseis' connection to the boundless ocean symbolized infinite opportunities and resources.

Aeëtes did not originally rule Colchis but came to the region as part of his divine mission.  it is generally believed that Aeëtes was guided by the gods, perhaps Helios himself, to establish an enchanting kingdom in this fertile and strategically located land on the eastern edge of the Black Sea. The divine guiding underscored the significance of Colchis in the broader historical landscape, making Aeëtes' mission one of both divine purpose and personal ambition.

Aeëtes was proud on the life he built his ocean nymph wife Idyia, three children with divine heritage, well established kingdom and most significantly the Golden Fleece.
