Médée

About the show

At Corinth, Dircé prepares to marry Jason, who had taken the Golden Fleece with Médée’s help before abandoning her. Médée returns and demands that Jason return to her; he refuses, and she vows vengeance. Ordered to leave Corinth, she asks for one more day with her children and sends wedding gifts to Dircé. One gift poisons Dircé. Médée, Néris and the children take refuge in a temple; Médée emerges with a bloodied knife after killing her children, curses Jason and disappears as the temple burns.
