: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.

:04:04
They didn't succeed.
:04:07
Little boy,
you are a descendant of Eolo

:04:11
because you are
a grandson of Atamanta,

:04:15
who was king of Olco,
a city nearby.

:04:19
It was rich with sheep and grain,
all the property of the king.

:04:24
Your Uncle Pelia imprisoned
your father and usurped the throne.

:04:28
The kingdom awaits you
and I've kept you safe here.

:04:35
Have you understood?
:04:37
It's a rather complicated story
:04:40
because it made up of facts,
not thoughts.

:04:45
Everything's sacred,
everything's sacred.

:04:49
Remember, my boy:
there's nothing natural in nature.

:04:55
When it seems natural to you,
it'll be the end.

:04:59
Something else will start.
Good-bye sky, good-bye sea.
