Jason and the Argonauts Page #4

It toughens the skin.

Well, go down and treat them.

I'll steer.

Hera.

You said you could help me

a certain number of times.

So far, you've told me of Colchis.

And I threw Pelias from his horse

and dragged him beneath the water.

Pelias?

So that was King Pelias.

I know your need.

Set sail and steer north.

- You will reach land at noon.

- Where?

The Isle of Bronze.

I've never heard of it.

No mortal has.

It was the foundry of the gods.

Hephaestus labored there,

making armor and weapons for Zeus.

Oh, do not fear. Hephaestus himself

has long departed.

I will see that you reach

the Isle of Bronze.

But listen to me, Jason.

Listen very carefully.

- Take the helm.

- Yes, sir.

Set sail.

We reach land at noon.

Then you can fill your bellies until they

grumble as much as your tongues.

Now, mark this.

It will be safe to take

food and water.

But nothing else.

Absolutely nothing else.

That doesn't include women?

If there are any on the island,

yes, it does.

If I meet a girl with a firm leg,

a full bosom and a warm heart...

...let no man try and stop me.

- Talos will.

- Who's Talos?

You do mean there's a man there

who wants a fight?

I spoke of no man.

Food and water, Hercules.

That's all.

Jason, who told you of this island?

The goddess Hera.

Port helm.

Steady as you go.

Furl the sail.

Ashore for food and water.

- Are goats good sailors?

- Goats? What are you talking about?

What do you want with goats

onboard ship?

Well, some of us might be hungry...

...or thirsty.

Come on.

Here's one for the pot.

Hercules.

Isn't he one of the Titans?

He might be. He's big enough.

Didn't Jason say something

about Talos?

This must be where Hephaestus

molded the statues of the gods.

Yes. And set them up

for all the world to see.

Hercules.

It's a treasure chamber.

The treasure chamber of the gods.

Look at this.

And this.

A pearl.

It's a javelin.

Don't be silly. In a jewel box?

It's a brooch pin.

Well, whatever it is,

it'll make a useful weapon.

Let's get back to the ship.

- Hercules.

- Well, what is it?

- You'd better put it back.

- Why?

- Remember what Jason said?

- It won't be missed.

Anyway, if the gods leave all this

lying about unguarded...

...they obviously don't want it.

Come on.

It must have been the wind.

And you saw nothing of them

after that?

Perhaps Hercules found a woman

after all.

Talos.

- Back water.

- Back. Back water.

Back.

I warned you, Jason.

This is Hercules' doing.

Talos will try to kill all of you.

How can I fight him?

Think before you waste

the gift of the gods.

Against a man of bronze,

our weapons are useless.

I repeat that question.

Then I must answer it.
