Medea was the daughter of King Aeëtes of Colchis, a land on the Black Sea known for its rich mythology.
She was an extremely gifted sorceress and priestess of the goddess Hecate, who was associated with magic and the underworld.
Medea fell in love with Jason, the leader of the Argonauts, when he came to Colchis to seize the Golden Fleece. With her help, Jason succeeded in stealing the fleece and fleeing with Medea. The couple escaped to Corinth, where they wanted to build a new home. But Jason eventually left Medea and married another woman.
Out of jealousy and pain, Medea devised a cruel plan of revenge. She not only killed Jason’s new bride, but also her own children in order to punish him. This interpretation shows Medea, whose oversized cloth on her head expresses both grief and the heavy burden of her deed weighing on her shoulders.
