After Jason's return Pelias was slain by his own daughters, at the artful instigation of Medea, Plaut. Ps. 3, 2, 80; Hyg. Fab. 24; Enn. ap. Auct. Her. 2, 22, 34 (Trag. v. 286 Vahl.); id. ap.

Fl. 1, 22 et saep.—Hence, Pĕlĭădes, the daughters of Pelias, who, upon Medea's promise to restore their father's youth, cut him to pieces, and boiled him in a caldron, Phaedr. 4, 7, 16; cf. Hyg. Fab. 24.
