Princess Medea. Daughter of King Aetes, niece of the sorceress Circe, and protector of the Golden Fleece. She roams Colchis accompanied by her brace of faithful black hounds, swearing to remain a virgin priestess of Hekate. Then Jason and his Argonauts arrive, determined to acquire the fleece and prove his right to the kingdom of Iolkos. Aetes sets him an impossible challenge he must conquer to earn the prize. But when Jason's beauty compels Medea, she is accused of betraying her vocation, and cast out of the priesthood. Alone and adrift, she resolves to assist Jason in his task. Through Medea's royal lineage, Jason becomes king of Corinth, swearing to always love his wife and queen. But his allegiance is fleeting... |
