Jason abandoned Medea partly because she was considered a barbarian but mostly because his second marriage would elevate him socially. He would inherit his new wife's kingdom and be ruler after his father in law's death. His marriage to Medea wasn't considered valid because of her status as a "barbarian". She got the ultimate revenge on him though!!! taken from:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080916113526AAQpyv7
That the Colchians leave the island without Medea is the command of Alcinous and Arete.Specifically, Alcinous and Arete are the rulers of the Phaiakians on the Mediterranean island of Scheria. They are mentioned in "The Odyssey" and most particularly in the story of Jason and the Argonauts. At the time of Jason, the royal couple is living in Drepane, in modern-day Sicily. They refuse to hand Medea over to the hostile Colchians since she has been living with Jason the Argonaut as his wife.
Oh, honey, let me spill the tea for you. Medea's tough decision was whether to betray her family and help Jason steal the Golden Fleece or stick with her bloodline and let him fail. Spoiler alert: she chose love over loyalty and things got messy real quick. So, yeah, that's the hot gossip on Medea's dilemma.
It seems the first wave of migration was caused by floods, while the second one - by a terrible drought. It's just a theory.
Jason made the Argo (Its a ship if you don't already know) and sailed into the sea of monsters and got the golden fleece from a island full of sheep and Cyclopes and sailed back to Olympus. After he left Medea to marry a kings' daughter. So sad. I don't blame him.
Jason leaves Medea because he is promised a higher status and better future by marrying the Corinthian princess, Glauce. He values societal approval and financial security over his marriage to Medea. Ultimately, Jason's decision to leave Medea is driven by his desire for power and stability.
Be mindful of how you treat others. Example: After so many years of marriage, Jason decided to leave Meadea for another women in the hopes of raising his status. In a counter action of just being tossed aside, Medea decides to have her revenge and wound jason like he wounded her
1. Why is Medea upset in the beginning of the play? 2. What do you think of Jason, that he is willing to leave Medea for the king's daughter? 3. What does Medea say to the Chorus about the plight of women? Is any of what she says relevant to today? 4. Is the Chorus willing to help Medea with what she plans to do? In your own words, what do they tell her? 5. Why does Jason say he went to marry the princess? 6. Do you get the impression Medea loves her children? What from the text makes you think as you do? 7. What does Medea do to the princess, and how does she do it? 8. What does Medea do to her children? Why does she do it? 9. Medea points out several times in the story that she is foreign. How does the story overall make you feel about Greek society? 10. In some versions of the story, Medea flees Corinth and Creon kills her children. Why do you think Euripides wrote the story the way he did instead?
