Ep. 75: Medea

This week we look at Medea, the niece of the witch Circe and the granddaughter of the sun god, known for being the actual "hero" in the Argonautica who enables Jason to fulfill the necessary tasks to acquire the golden fleece. Eventually he abandons her for another wife, and she takes her revenge by setting the wife on fire with a poisoned dress and murdering their children. Like many myths, the deeper meaning about the nature of the chthonic Feminine is more important than the social implications.

Thanks to all my current supporters!

Medea is the "real hero". If she was a man she'd be praised for her "revenge". She becomes the vilified one - really? She is a full rounded human being. She represents all of us. Again another great podcast. Enjoying the series so far.
