The text is based on : the Norton anthology and the summary is based on my memory of 呂建忠's. OK, Here's the information I found from the course textbook from CCLIV 115 in my college. Consider I'm taking this class right now anyway. The time of story taken place after Jason come back with the golden fleece: The story of Medea and Jason in Corinth is a grim one, best known from Euripides' play that bears Medea's name. Although Jason was accepted by the Corinthians, the presence of the barbarian sorceress Medea was less welcome. The people and even the king himself were afraid of what this powerful, dangerous woman might do, for she had proved that she would stop at nothing to gain her ends. Thus far her purposes had coincides with those of her husband, but nowshe was beginning to be an embarrassment to him. Finally, Creon [the king] offered Jason the hand of his daughter, Glauce, or Creusa. By Greek law Jason's sons by a foreigner were not citizens, so he could not expect to bequeath his own position to Mermerus or Pheres. he therefore determined to divorce Medea and marry Glauce. Threatened with banishment as well as divorce, Medae reminded Jason that all the exploits for which he was famous would never have been accomplished without her help. The fact that this accusation was undeniable did not induce Jason to admit its justice. He retored that Medea should consider herself well repaid by his having introduced her to the glories of Greek civilization. Enraged, the proud woman determined on a terrible vengeance. She pretended to submit to Jason's wishes, but sent her sons to the palace bearing a poisoned robe as a wedding gift for Glauce. When the delighted princess put it on, it burst into flame, and, though she leaped into a well to quench the fire, she die in agony. Her father, coming to her aid, was consumed as well. The Corinthians stormed Medea's house, but she escaped in a chariot drawn by winged dragons, a gift from her grandfather helius\ According to some writers, Mermerus and Pheres [her sons], though they took refuge at Hera's altar, were stoned to death by the enraged Corinthians, who were later punished by their ghosts. Other say that Medea herself killed her sons, as a final act of revenge on their father, and that she took with her their bodies so taht Jason could not have even the small comfort of give them burial. --
