He Had It Coming
Don’t mess with Medea. Having given up her home and betrayed her family for the love of Jason, after marrying him and having children with him, she finds herself tossed aside and threatened with exile when Jason wants an advantageous marriage to a king’s daughter instead. That business about hell having no fury like a woman scorned? Yeah, Medea pretty much exemplifies that. As documented in Euripides’s ancient Greek tragedy that shares her name, her vengeance is legendary, so much so that we’re still watching that play 2,445 years after its premiere.
