Today you're 5
and I want to tell you the truth.

:02:31
You're not my son and I didn't find
you in the sea, it was all lies.

:02:38
You're not a liar, but I am.
I enjoy telling lies.

:02:43
Are you sorry to find out
you're not my son,

:02:46
that I'm neither your father
or mother?

:02:50
It all started
because of a ram's hide.

:02:53
There was a talking ram,
it was divine.

:02:57
Hermes gave the ram to Nefele
so she could save her sons.

:03:03
lno wanted to kill them.
:03:06
lno was the wife of Cadmo
and second wife of Atamante.

:03:11
Atamante was the son of Eolo,
the wind god,

:03:15
lno had also been Eolo's wife.
:03:18
Anyway,
it was all a matter of jealousy.

:03:21
The ram had a golden fleece
:03:23
and managed to carry Frisso,
one of Nefele's sons, across the sea.

:03:30
Frisso arrived in the city of Ea:
ruled by Eta, the sun's son.

:03:35
Ea welcomed Frisso
:03:37
and to give thanks to Zeus,
sacrificed the golden ram.

:03:47
Eolo's descendants
wanted to get the fleece back,

:03:51
because it brought the king luck.
:03:53
It guaranteed
a long and peaceful reign.

:03:57
They tried everything to get it back,
but they didn't succeed.
