| | Medea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Medea was the daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis, and is most often described as a priestess of Hecate. | | | As Medea handed Theseus a cup of poison, Aegeus recognized the young man's sword as his own, which he had left for his newborn son years earlier to be given to him when he came of age. | | | In Greek mythology, Medea was the daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis (now a territory of modern Georgia), niece of Circe, and later wife to Jason. |

| | For more than 2000 years Medea, one of the most powerful women in all of Greek myth and literature, has been drawn for readers as a nightmare example of a woman scorned; cast aside by her husband Jason, in revenge Medea kills the two sons she has borne their ambitious and faithless father. | | | As the novel begins Medea discovers the "dirty secret" of Creon, king of Corinth: to preserve his power, Creon has sacrificed one of his own daughters and concealed the murder from his subjects. | | | Through a series of starkly brilliant voices in which the chief actors examine their motives and their options in the developing power play between Creon and Medea, Wolf unfolds a gripping tale of political intrigue, love and a woman's determination to preserve her independence even while her knowledge puts her ever more at risk. |
