Medea, The Murderous Mother

Medea is one of those extremely fascinating and complex characters that is coming from Greek mythology. An ultimate heroine but at the same time a villain and a victim. Called a goddess, witch, enchantress, or princess she best remembered as a murderous mother. In this episode, I will be describing the story of the quest of the Golden Fleece and the role that Medea played in it. What happened after and what is the "Medea Syndrome" and why do we use this term today. SOURCES: - https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/eascfa/dinner_party/place_settings/boadaceia - MANFRE, L.
