Medea is a figure appearing in the Greek myths.

When Jason abandoned her and their sons, Mermeros and Pheres, to court the daughter of the King of Korinthia, Glauke, Medea slew the boys.[1] Afterwards, she gave Glauke a poisoned cape causing the woman to throw herself into a fountain that afterwards bore her name.[1]

Influence

During the Peloponnesian War the Daughters of Artemis named one of their campsites within the Valley of the Pegasos in Korinthia after her.[1]

When Alkibiades fell ill at the 428 BCE Olympic Games, Barnabas said that the man looked "like [he] drank from Medea's cup", referencing the story of how Medea attempted to poison the hero Theseus by giving him a cup of poison.[2]
