		Through Apsyrtus' murder, she simultaneously declared her independence from her family and forfeited her right to any protection from it....

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.4.1
		Vegetius evidently thought of Apsyrtus as a Latin writer and the question arises (and is the theme of chapter 5) whether Pelagonius was himself translating Apsyrtus or using an existing Latin translation.
		It emerges that the passages drawn from Apsyrtus abound in features of Pelagonian Latinity in a way that those based on Columella and others do not; on the other hand, non-Pelagonian features in the same Apsyrtus-passages are not significantly numerous or distinctive, and A. concludes (p.
		The use made of Apsyrtus by Pelagonius reveals the latter's ignorance and inadequacies as a veterinary writer and as a translator: these are enumerated, and the chapter (and in effect Book I) ends with a resounding and rather damning review of Pelagonius as a 'horse-doctor'.

		By the time they get to Colchis, the Argonauts are in need of a bit of luck, and luckily the King's daughter, Medea, forms an unsuitable attachment with Jason, betraying her father and her fatherland for the sake of a crush.
		In his version, Apsyrtus is only her half-brother and not a baby but the leader of the pursuit.
		She suggests his murder in a desperate attempt to avoid being traded for the Fleece, and it is Jason who traps and kills him, cutting off his extremities like a bullfighter, and spitting out mouthfuls of his blood to ward off vengeful ghosts.

		The Graces with their own hands had wrought it for Dionysus in sea-girt Dia, and he gave it to his son Thoas thereafter, and Thoas left it to Hypsipyle, and she gave that fair-wrought guest-gift with many another marvel to Aeson's son to wear.
		And so they two agreed together on everything; and straightway Aeson's son leapt forth from the thick ambush, lifting his bare sword in his hand; and quickly the maiden turned her eyes aside and covered them with her veil that she might not see the blood of her brother when he was smitten.
