In our examination of Medea, one of the most famous women of Ancient Greece, we'll come to realize that her plight has a lot of relevance. Though, before we can do that, we need to take a step back and reacquaint ourselves with her husband Jason and all of his buddies, the Argonauts. In this episode, we'll discover the less-than-perfect conditions in which Medea and Jason met, which will help us understand some reasoning behind her problematic actions in the second part of Medea, a Woman Scorned.
