Talk:Pelias

Missing sources, inconsistency and lack of clarity
1. "During Jason's absence, Pelias thought the Argo had sunk, and this was what he told Aeson and Promachus, who committed suicide by drinking poison. However, it is unknown but possible that the two were both killed directly by Pelias."

There are no sources for this sentence. According to Pseudo-Apollodorus (Bibliotheca, 1.9.27) Aeson committed suicide by drinking bull's blood and not poison.

2. "An alternate telling of the story has Medea slitting the throat of Jason's father Aeson, who she then really does revive as a much younger man; Pelias' daughters then slit their father's throat after she promises to do the same for him, and she merely breaks her word and leaves him dead."

The above has no source and it's unclear as well as confusing, particularly that last part.
