Medea The Christ
Well, according to the Internet, single moms ruin society with their fatherless sons … so what Medea did was taking out the trash.
I’m writing a musical on this diva <3
Music please?
Umm falsehood Exodus 20:3:
"You shall have no other gods before god but pls go to god he will make a way
Medea killed her own children or the new wife's children?
Honestly thats fair
who is the original painter
This is why perseus is such a chad
Yeah, the MGM classic movie doesn’t quite get to this part.
If she knows any of her father’s necromancy, she may as well raise the boys to turn them as revenants against Jason .
The fate of Jason is one of the few if not the only thing Zeus and Hera ever agreed on
I feel like meera reed is inspired by this person
Murdering ur kids over a man is insane
Dude I love how intense her eyes look. Crazed and sad and broken all at the same time. Sheer unbridled fury. I love it.
Helllurrrrr
Greek mythology is just messed up tbh
And I’m saying that as a Greek 🇬🇷
One of my favorites.😮❤
I tell you thats true. One chopped her own daughter 👧 other leave her daughter breatheless, both from unrelated nations, and age.first one thought her husband is cheated,second’s husband were cold and ignorant- both ladies were mentally cooked and pissed of their life,cause there were other kids too. Their hisbands were cold and didnt heard plea of their wife.So they went Mad.
Tf?
😨😨
Most men ain't shit.
And you see, Medea was never punished by the gods for what she did. The reason being her actions had the approval of the Gods on their side. First when she betrayed her family for Jason Hera, Jason Patron Goddess, was egging her on. Then when Jason exiled Medea and tried to marry the other princess, Hera, absolutely not happy with Jasons actions as they were like more or less a direct insult to her authority, just let Medea cook. Needless to say being High Priestess of Helios and his Granddaughter made her more than qualified for the job. She made sure Jason would repent his actions till her curse of him being crushed under the crumbling monument of his only achievement came true quite literally when Jason was crushed to death under the rotting prow of the Argo which fell on him when he was sleeping one night.
Edit:- Also i forgot to add, In exiling Medea he not only pissed of Hera but he also broke the oath of marriage. Angering ZEUS. The God of Oaths. HE SUCCESSFULLY PISSED OF BOTH HERA AND ZEUS. WOULDYA LOOK AT THAT
Bro, look at her eyes, bro needs to say his goodbyes oh never minds, but those children said their goodbyes
Some sources says that kids was killed by family of mistress and Medea didn't kill her own kids
now… to be fair to jason, she was a complete sociopath and rode a chariot drawn by dragons
"Hera is the goddess of marriage and Zeus hates oathbreakers. You're the only thing those two will ever agree on."
– Medea to Jason in OSP's rendition of Medea
Can't we just play nice?
Thank you for your loveliness. May you and yours stay well and prosper.
Another thing that Medea did for Jason was kill his uncle that said that he was going to let Jason become king(but he was just tricking him), which ultimately led to both of their exiles from Jasons kingdom. Not sure if she killed someone else,
Also the reason she was especially pissed off was because he had said that he will love her forever, that was the reason she went with him, only for him to say that 'since they were married in another kingdom, and now they're in a new one, their marriage doesnt count'.
Anyways their love was a lie from the start, since when Jason was in trouble Eros(cupid) was sent to shoot arrows at both of them so that Medea, being a powerful sorceress would help Jason
So she punished the bride and not the man that hurt and betray her. Typical woman behaviour. It's an ancient curse.
Poor children…
Thing about medea is that she never got punished for killing all those people and her children. Which means that she still had the gods' favor. Unlike jason who alienated his patron, hera, by being unfaithful
Remember: by turning on Madea, Jason pissed off BOTH ZEUS AND HERA
He was so bad, HE GOT THOSE TWO TO AGREE ON IT
"I will cheat on my murder-happy super powerful sorceress wife, I mean it's not like she can do anything about it." Jason
Wasn't she red-haired?
That's why the media is called Medea, because they are witches who cast spells.
There are far too many comments resorting to the play, but the two sons were actually murdered by the bride and her family. Since they were firstborns, they had grounds to obtain the throne. Madea avenged her children by murdering the bride.
A rightful justice, but I guess, crazed insane vengeful mother was more appealing to an audience
