Medea in Corinto

About the show

Jason rejects Medea, his former wife, for Creusa, daughter of King Creon, who banishes Medea. King Aegeus of Athens arrives, having also been promised Creusa as a bride. He and Medea form an alliance and attack Creusa and Jason at their wedding, but are defeated. Imprisoned, Medea summons demons, kills Creusa with a poisoned robe and stabs her own children, then escapes in a chariot drawn by flying dragons. Jason attempts suicide in despair.
