Witchy woman of mythology’s activities are best described by Bullfinch, "..in order to delay the pursuit by King Aeetes, Medea killed her halfbrother, Absyrtis, and cut his body into pieces, scattering the parts behind the ship. The pursuers had to stop and collect Absyrtis' dismembered body in order to give it proper burial."
