Hey,

Medea was a myth that inspired a play by Eupripides - a greek tragedian.

THe basic plot follows the title character (Medea) and her 'husband' Jason (Jason from The Argonaughts). After Jason's adventure, Medea and himself went to Corinth where they had 2 children. Due to Medea's ethnic origins it was not technically seen as a marriage and so Jason decided (apparently) for the best of his children, that he would marry the King of Corinths (Creon) daighter: Glauci.

Medea understandably got jealous and, to cut a long story short, murdered Creon and Glauce and killed her 2 children as the ultimate act of vengeance for Jason's betrayal. Weird no?

Sorry, silly me spelt Euripides wrong!!

Try to ingnore the rest of the mistakes (i was typing pretty fast!!)
