Apollonius names Alcimede daughter of Phylacus as the woman Aeson wedded — Iphiclus of Phylace was her brother and Jason's uncle. When the Argo sailed she lamented on the shore, straining her son in her arms and cursing the day Pelias sent him for the Golden Fleece.2Apollonius of Rhodes — Argonautica 1.45–47, 1.247–291⚖Told differently in other tellings — change the lens on the card

The poet explains that Jason himself was the son of Alcimede who was born of Clymene the daughter of Minyas — and so the heroes who manned the Argo were styled Minyae because the most and bravest claimed descent from the daughters of Minyas.3Apollonius of Rhodes · Hyginus — Argonautica 1.228–233; Fabulae 14⚖Told differently in other tellings — change the lens on the card

Hyginus consistently makes Jason son of Aeson and Alcimede, Clymene's daughter — in the tale of Juno and the lost sandal, in the catalogue of Argonauts, and in the Fleece legend. Apollodorus instead names Polymede daughter of Autolycus; the two mothers must never share one star.4Hyginus · Pseudo-Apollodorus — Fabulae 3, 13–14; Bibliotheca 1.9.16⚖Told differently in other tellings — change the lens on the card
