The return journey - jason and the argonauts

On the way back to Iolcus, Medea prophesied to Euphemus, the Argo's helmsman, that one day he would rule Cyrene. This came true through Battus, a descendant of Euphemus. Zeus, as punishment for the slaughter of Medea's own brother, sent a series of storms at the Argo and blew it off course. TheArgo then spoke and said that they should seek purification with Circe, anymph living on the island of Aeaea. After being cleansed, they continued their journey home
