The dragon guarding the Golden Fleece was lulled to sleep by which means?

• A. Medea's sweet magical song
• B. A potion
• C. A shepherd's lullaby
• D. A musician's tune

Answer: (A)

The idea tested here is how magical power can subdue a formidable guard. Medea is a renowned sorceress, and in her hands magic—often described as spells or charms—gives her the ability to affect creatures that are normally impervious. The dragon being lulled to sleep by a sweet magical song presents the effect as a direct magical intervention tied to Medea’s craft. That framing emphasizes her enchantment rather than something ordinary like a simple lullaby, a mundane potion, or a musician’s tune. In the myth, this magical song grants the necessary quiet so Jason can seize the Golden Fleece, illustrating how sorcery, not ordinary means, controls the outcome.
