Medea She was a priestess of Hecate, in Greek mythology she was a sorceress and a witch, daughter of Aeetes and the nymph Asterodia, but it is also believed that she was the daughter of Hecate, from whom she learned magic and sorcery. Her aunt Circe also learned sorcery from Hecate. He had a stepbrother named Apsirto.
Medea had great participation in the rescue of the Golden Fleece by Jason and later helped him to escape, but had it been for his spells, Jason would never have succeeded. But Medea despite being a sorceress magician, was deeply in love with Jason.
Jason He told Apsirto, Medea's brother, to let him continue with the Golden Fleece, that he would deliver his sister, but Medea, realizing it, devised a plan, so that Jason would end up killing Apsirto. Jason not only did he kill it, but he cut it to pieces and threw it into the sea.
Then his father Aeetes, very enraged and very concerned, dedicated himself to gathering all the pieces of Apsirto's body. While this happens, it is taken advantage of by Medea and Jason, to escape with the Argonauts.
But Medea needed to be purified by the death of her brother Apsis, and goes to Crete in search of Circe.
Medea's story It is that of a woman who uses all the sorceries to get everything she wants, but cannot fully get the love of Jason, since he marries Glauca, and Medea is very offended, some writings of mythology say that he He gave the bride a very beautiful dress, which imprisoned her so much that it killed her.
To Medea they represent her with a spear, a helmet and a shield.
Jason dies as an old man crushed by the bow of the Argo.
