Aison (English spelling)

…in Greek legend, he was a hero who served as a commander of the Argo crew. He was the son of Aisōn, king of Iolcus. As a child, his father's half-brother Pelias usurped his father's kingship, so he was brought up by the centaur Chiron.

When they arrived at Iolcus, Medea found that Aisōn, Jason's father, had been forced to commit suicide by Pelias, so she showed Pelias' daughters how to rejuvenate a sheep by boiling it in a pot, and had them kill their father in the same way. They fled to Corinth, where they had two children, but when Jason married the daughter of King Kreon, Medea killed the king, the princess, and her own son, and fled to Aegeus, King of Athens. …
