Aison

The son of Kretheus (Cretheus) and the father of Iason (Jason).

When Iason and the Argonauts returned from their quest for the Golden Fleece, Aison was forced to commit suicide by king Pelias; as revenge for the death of Aison, Iason’s wife, the sorceress Medea, tricked Pelias’ daughters into killing their father in order to make him immortal.

The Ai (alpha iota) is a vowel-digraph that is pronounced as a short E.
