Historical Background

In Greek mythology, Talos was a giant bronze Automaton which was made by the god of fire, volcanoes, and smithing, Hephaestus and given by Zeus to his mistress Europa as a gift when he brought her to Crete. Talos was assigned to patrol the borders (the shores) of the island kingdom and protect it. Talos would throw a volley of stones at any menacing ship approaching, driving them away. Talos was destroyed by Medea when it tried to prevent Jason and the Argonauts from landing.
