The son of Aeëtes and half-brother of Medeä. When Jason and Medeä fled Colchis after Jason and the Argonauts had obtained the Golden Fleece, they took Absyrtus with them. Pursued by the furious Aeëtes, Medeä ruthlessly murdered her young half-brother, cutting him into pieces. These she dropped one by one over the side of the boat so that Aeëtes had to stop to collect them for burial, thereby allowing time to escape.
