Talos: the world's first cybernetic organism?

The World's First Robot: Talos by Adrienne Mayor http://www.wondersandmarvels.com/2012/03/the-worlds-first-robot-talos.html
Mayor suggests that the "physiology of Talos, described by ancient writers in mytho-bio-technical language, seems to presage today’s scientific “cybernetic organism” projects that employ neurological-computer interfaces to integrate living and non-living components. Hephaestus gave Talos a single internal artery or vein, through which ichor, the mysterious life-fluid of the gods, pulsed from his neck to his ankle. Talos’s biomimetic “vivisystem” was sealed by a single bronze nail."

Thank you, RLG, for your reference to Talos. And anything that allows me to reference the stop motion animation of Ray Harryhausen and the 1963 film 'Jason and the Argonauts' is OK by me.
