 When discovered the daring deeds done by Medea, he started off in pursuit of the ship but when she saw him near, Medea murdered her brother and cutting him limb from limb threw the pieces into the deep.Gathering the child's limbs, Aeetes fell behind in the pursuit; wherefore he turned back, and, having buried the rescued limbs of his child, he called the place Tomi.But he sent out many of the Colchians to search for the Argo, threatening that, if they did not bring Medea to him, they should suffer the punishment due to her; so they separated and pursued the search in diverse places.
