jan 1, 1367 BC - Athamas Marries Again

Description:

Jealous that her husband's eldest children Phrixus and Helle stood to inherit Orchomenus over her own, Ino hatched a devious plot to get rid of the twins, roasting all of Boeotia's crop seeds so they would not grow. The local farmers, frightened of famine, asked a nearby oracle for assistance. Ino bribed the men sent to the oracle to lie and tell the others that the oracle required the sacrifice of Phrixus and Helle.
