Then he grasped his sword, which was one of the good ones in the world, for it was, so says the story drawn from the histories, the sword of Hercules, who led Jason to the island of Colchis to search for the Golden Fleece. And with this sword Hercules killed many a giant in the land where Jason brought Medea, who loved him so much, but afterwards Jason failed him at every time that Hercules helped him, in his great nobility of spirit, because he had taken pity on him. And the story says that Vulcan forged the sword; he reigned in the time of Adrastus, king of Greece, who kept it in his treasure house for many a day. Tydeus, son of the king of Calcydon, had this sword the day he brought his message to King Eteocles of Thebes, who afterwards had much strife because of Polynices, his stepbrother. And then the sword went from hand to hand, and from heir to heir, until it now belonged to King Rion, who was of the bloodline of Hercules, who was so worthy and bold.
