		Athamas and Ino had two children, Learchos and Melikertes, and Ino was so intensely jealous of her stepson Phrixos (presumably because she feared that he would inherit the kingdom of Athamas) that she devised a bizarre scheme to get rid of him.
		Athamas led his son to the altar (or Phrixos himself volunteered to die), but at the last moment Nephele (the cloud) appeared and gave her children a flying ram with a golden fleece.

	Chapter 26. Sacrifice of the King’s Son. Frazer, Sir James George. 1922. The Golden Bough
		Thus Athamas was saved, but afterward he went mad, and mistaking his son Learchus for a wild beast, shot him dead.
		Thus bereft of wife and children the unhappy Athamas quitted his country, and on enquiring of the oracle where he should dwell was told to take up his abode wherever he should be entertained by wild beasts.
		Athamas and his line, in short, appear to have united divine or magical with royal functions; and this view is strongly supported by the claims to divinity which Salmoneus, the brother of Athamas, is said to have set up.

		Athamas 1 and Ino were in charge of taking care of the child Dionysus 2, but Hera, who, out of jealousy, hated this son of Zeus and Semele, drove both Athamas 1 and Ino mad.
		So Athamas 1 hunted his son Learchus as if he were a deer and killed him, and Ino killed her son Melicertes: she threw him into a boiling cauldron, and carrying it with the dead child, cast herself into the sea.

		When Athamas heard that, he was forced by the inhabitants of the land to bring Phrixus to the altar.

		Athamas killed his son Learchos, either mistaking him for a deer or lion and shooting him, or seizing him and dashing his brains out.
		There is an odd variant that has Athamas or Ino throw Melikertes (or Learchos) into a boiling cauldron before Ino carried him off; this accords with the recurrent idea in Greek myths that mortality may somehow be boiled or burned away.
		Other variants are, that Ino killed both children, and that Athamas followed her, not in a fit of homicidal mania, but in just anger at her attempt to kill Phrixos and Helle.
