Hunting in the woods with Pythagoras and Hercules Jason finds an abandoned baby which, against the others' advice, he takes home to nurse with help from Medusa. Unbeknown to Jason the child is the son of King Laius and his wife Jocasta and Laius, with help from Pasiphae, has abandoned the child as a seer told the king one day his son would kill him. Learning that the baby has disappeared Laius sends soldiers to find him but Jocasta and royal adviser Tiresias get to him first. Tiresias is anxious to help the unhappy Jocasta save her son and so he tells Laius the baby is dead. In the meantime Hercules and the boys safely escape from the city and hand over to Jocasta's family her baby, Oedipus.
