Which God looked after Jason? Hera She asked Aphrodite to make Medea, the daughter of Aetes, to fall in love with Jason. Gave him potion to complete her father’s task -yoke the bull Sow field with dragons teeth Fight soldiers that spring up from teeth

Medea’s conflict Help stranger Or stay loyal to family She wept over the treachery to her father Charmed the serpent to sleep, Jason retrieved the fleece and promised to marry Medea when they returned to Greece. Killed brother who was pursuing the Argo

Back Home Pelias forced Jason’s father to kill himself Medea tricked daughters into cutting up Pelias All the good and evil she did was for Jason. Fled to Corinth Jason betrays Medea P Medea sends robe to Princess of Corinth Kills children Rides away in chariot and lives happily ever after.

Greek Terms Hubris: arrogant or excessive pride Arete: excellence: Jason does not exhibit this in conventional sense. Ate: madness ( Jason’s temporary ate leads to the destruction of everything he loved, including his reputation) Medea’s ate is shown through passion for Jason and caused her to murder innocent people, including her children.
