. Medea stood on the deck of the Argo and summoned the spirits of death to defeat him, but it could have been merely by accident that Talos grazed his ankle on a rock that led to his defeat. Luck or Magic whatever it may be, the power that Medea has was extraordinary. As extraordinary of a woman that Medea was, it is a wonder why she became hooked on Jason, betrayed her father and killed her own brother. The answer is simple; she was struck by an arrow of love by Eros, the little god of love. Again the mythological aspect of this story comes into play and shows how much gods had an effect on the everyday life of any person. By the single decision of one god, the life of one woman is changed while another mans life is spared.The end of the story can be characterized as being very abrupt, but hinting to a much larger story than what we have just read. The Voyage of Argo is finished off as only a prequel to something much bigger, similar to the Star Wars trilogy. A final taste of action is given to us before we depart by Medea defeating Talos. Up to that point in the story, Medea seems to have become excess baggage on the voyage, so she had to prove herself one more time before returning home and finishing this chapter of the story. By quickly defeating Talos, in a sense, she again is worthy of Jason and the crew's thanks. By simply signing off of a story that he so illustrated and described though out the majority of it, Apollonius gives an idea that there is more of the story to go (which there is) and there was more of a story before that too (which there is too)....
