Iolcos

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Iolcos or Iolkos or Iolcus was a ancient city in Thessaly in central-eastern Greece (near the modern city of Volos).

Aeson was the rightful king of Iolcos, but his brother Pelias usurped the throne. It was Pelias who sent Aeson's son Jason to look for the Golden Fleece.
