When the Argo sailed to Crete, Talos threw boulders at the ship, keeping it at bay. Talos had a blood vessel which extended from his neck to his ankle, kept closed by a bronze nail. Medea cast a spell on Talos to calm him, then removed the nail so that he bled to death, allowing the Argo to continue its journey.
