Sadly, Jason’s father, Jason ----------Sr., had died very suddenly, and Jason’s mother could no longer afford to keep all of their children, so they were sent away to live with various relatives around the country. Jason, after finally coming of age, was returning home to claim what was, by right and law, his. However, when Jason reached his boyhood home, he was turned away by his half-uncle. Frank Pelias told him, “Go to the stars, and bring me a sheet of pure platinum. They can be found just through the asteroid belt. However, you must get one from the Colchites, on their planet, Aeetes. Then, and only then, will you get this land.” …show more content…

During the deepening dusk, the small vessel blasted away, and they were gone without much

    4. Well Euripides does not state why Jason starts to actually care for him but I have an idea why. He was not too worried because he believed that they would be taken care of by their mother and later by him when he states on lines 668-672, “ I want to raise them in the proper way, one worthy of my house, to have brothers for the children born from you, and make them 670 all the same.…

    Euripides infacnticdal re-imaging od the Medea myth continues to arouse controversy more than a millennia since it was penned in the fifth BC. A key reason it does so is because of the way in which Euripides challenges and offends what are still, even in the 21st century, traditional notions of motherhood. Jason has an inability to comprehend the actions that he does will affect those around him. Medea’s passion for vengeance on those that have mistreated her is a greater driving force then those that she loves deeply. Creon by letting others manipulate him to doing what is better for others can lead to just as tragic outcomes.…
