Summary

She's back! We continue on with the re-telling of the story of Medea, a woman who is badass, powerful, and misunderstood. She and Jason return to Iolchus, and more shit goes down.

 

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
