Medea, wife of the hero Jason, once betrayed her own family to help him win the Golden Fleece. In exile from her homeland, Medea has borne Jason two sons and sacrificed much for her husband. Now, after learning that her husband will marry the princess of Corinth, Medea has been banished from the kingdom—on pain of death—by the king himself. She has been given one day to pack up and leave, but instead, she enacts the ultimate revenge on those who have wronged her.
