At the end of Medea, Euripides ends it with a scene of contradictions and conundrums. Unlike most tragedies, Medea actually gets away with all the murders she has committed. It is questionable whether or not Medea took it too far by killing her children, but there is also the hint that it could've been just that she do so. Medea escapes in a chariot drawn by dragons with the corpes of her two sons. By taking their lives and not giving Jason the priveledge to give them a proper burial, she leaves Jason without love and accomplishes her revenge.
