Absyrtus
Absyrtus, or Apsyrtus (Ancient Greek: Ἄψυρτος) was in Greek mythology the son of Aeëtes and a brother of Medea and Chalciope. His mother is variously given: Hyginus calls her Ipsia,Hesiod and the Bibliotheca call her Eidyia,Apollonius calls her Asterodeia, and others Neaera or Eurylyte. When Medea fled with Jason, she took her brother Absyrtus with her, and when she was nearly overtaken by her father, she murdered her brother, cut his body into pieces and strewed them on the road, so that her father might thus be delayed by gathering the limbs of his child. Tomi, the place where this occurred, was believed to have derived its name from temno (τέμνω, "cut").
According to another tradition, Absyrtus was not taken by Medea, but was sent out by his father in pursuit of her. He overtook her in Corcyra, where she had been kindly received by King Alcinous, who refused to surrender her to Absyrtus. When he overtook her a second time in the island of Minerva, he was slain by Jason.Apollonius of Rhodes presents a variation on this tradition in Argonautica (Book 4): Jason murdered Medea's brother on one of the 'Brygean Islands' (an island sacred to the goddess Artemis and located in the modern Kvarner Gulf), where he was lured by Medea with false promises – their first (and last) meeting after leaving Colchis.

On The Way To Hell
by: AbsurdusCursed I am to walk this soil
No light of grace shines on me
In my pain I stare with empty eyes
Cold walls surrounding me
Alone I crawl my darkest edges
No warmth of life embracing me
Through the night, through the light
The outer dark is waiting me
I can feel...this darkness bleeding on me
I can feel...life is running away from me
Drown your pain, drown your life
This emptiness is too much to bear
Drown your hate, drown your love
This life ain't worth of living anymore
The pulse of strenght, once forgotten
Whispers about my buried dignity
These empty thoughts in these empty rooms
Nothing compares to this agony
With this fire, with this pain
My mortal life shall decease with hails
Joyfull..is my final journey
Towards those gates
[pre-chorus]
On my way to hell
Fucking up life so goddamn well
On my way to hell
I've got a soul yo sell
On my way to hell
I know the place where bastards dwell
On my way to hell
I'm every day
No spark of hope in this twilight of mine
The end as same what life used to be
No dreams of glory, no dreams of life
Putrefaction fucking guaranteed
So come to me and gather your harvest
Bleed your darkest bliss upon me
Kingdom of fire is all I see
Fastest lane down my journey will be
[pre-chorus]
