მედეა / Medea
Medea was the daughter of Aeetes, who ruled the remote kingdom of Colchis. A descendant of the gods and a priestess of Hecate, Medea was a powerful witch and magician herself. She fell in love with Jason when he came to Colchis with the Argonauts to steal the Golden Fleece from her father. In fact, Medea was so in love that she betrayed her family and abandoned her homeland, helping Jason steal the Golden Fleece and then running away with him to Greece.
Though she was highly devoted, Medea could also be dangerous and overbearing. She went to extreme lengths to help Jason, killing her own brother and later brutally murdering Jason’s uncle Pelias for stealing Jason’s throne. Despite all this, Jason eventually left Medea to marry another woman. Medea used her skills to take revenge on Jason, then journeyed to Athens to marry King Aegeus. But Aegeus soon tired of her as well, and Medea once again had to flee. According to some traditions, she ended up settling somewhere in the steppes of Asia.
