Six years later Jason returns to Mount Pelion to learn the truth about his identity. Cheiron tells him the truth, hoping the youth's hot temper will not make him act rashly. But Jason departs before dawn with revenge in his heart. But when he is rebuffed in his attempts to enlist allies in the neighbouring kingdoms, even in powerful Thebes, his path leads him to Delphi seeking answers. But what he hears offers him no hope. Rather it leaves him horrified and repulsed by his erstwhile desire for a murderous revenge.
