Medea conspired to have Pelias's own daughters kill him. She told them she could turn an old ram into a young ram by cutting up the old ram and boiling it.

Jason was instructed by his brother Pelias to find and bring back the Golden Fleece from Colchis. Pelias believed that this task was nearly impossible and hoped that Jason would fail, as he saw Jason as a threat to his own power.
Pelias
Trichoptilus pelias was created in 1908.
She tricked Pelias's daughters into chopping him up and thus killing him.
Pelias was mentioned in the myth 'The Quest for the Golden Fleece'. He had been told by an oracle that he would die at the hands of a kinsman, and should be wary of anyone wearing one sandal. Later, Jason arrived with one sandal, and Pelias sent him on the quest for the Golden Fleece, promising the kingdom and the sovereign rule to him if he succeeded.
King Pelias is worried about a one-sandaled stranger because of an oracle's prophecy that he would one day be overthrown by a man wearing only one sandal. This prophecy creates fear and paranoia in Pelias, leading to his attempts to prevent anyone with one sandal from gaining power.
