The evil that Athamas your father did you lives to be a curse to the line of Aeolus.

Athamas was wedded first to Nephili, the mother of Phrixus and Hella, the youth and maiden.

But Athamas married again while the mother of these children was still living, and Ino, the new queen, drove Nephili and her children out of the king's palace.
