Why was Medea so grieved?
Medea was very upset, because she had fallen in love with the
hero, Jason, and said that she would help him as long as he married
her. He agreed. Then, in Corinth, Jason abandoned Medea and instead
was going to marry the princess of that land. Angered, Medea gave
the princess a poisoned cloak. Medea also killed the two children
that she had with Jason, although the reasons why vary between
sources.
