The Minyae and Colchians covenant to yield the fleece but place Medea under Artemis’s ward pending judgment.(Book IV 3)
- With: Aeetes Medea
- “as to the golden fleece, that since Aeetes himself had so promised them if they should fulfill the contests, they should keep it as justly won, whether they carried it off by craft or even openly in the king’s despite; but as to Medea—for that was the cause of strife—that they should give her in ward to Leto’s daughter apart from the throng”

with Iphias (Iphias is identified as Artemis's priestess.) “And there met him aged Iphias, priestess of Artemis guardian of the city,”

ward: Medea “but as to Medea—for that was the cause of strife—that they should give her in ward to Leto’s daughter apart from the throng, until some one of the kings that dispense justice should utter his doom, whether she must return to her father’s home or follow the chieftains to the land of Hellas.”
parent: Zeus “for the Colchians had left these islands out of many within the river, just as they were, through reverence for the daughter of Zeus”
parent: Leto “that they should give her in ward to Leto’s daughter apart from the throng”
