In Greek mythology, who was the daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis and wife of the hero Jason?
Medea was the daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis in Greek mythology, and wife of the mythical hero Jason.
Medea met her husband when Jason and the Argonauts arrived in Colchis to claim the famous Golden Fleece from the king. She fell in love with him and told him she would help him in his quest, under the condition that he would take her with him. Jason accepted and when he presented himself in front of the king, Aeetes agreed to give him the fleece if he passed a number of tasks.

Arlene Gholston Long, I think that saying Arlene is bright and cheerful. I found just now that it means promise or pledge. <<Meaningslike.com>> says Gholston means intuition and enlightenment, a few other things, and a timid persona. Together, your name indicates a long promise of intuition and enlightenment. That sounds wonderful. <<BehindtheName.com>> reports Medea means plans, counsel, and cunning. Does the co-worker know how she was given that name? Thank you, Christine, James' wife

I have seen someone's name at work is Medea and I can't imagine giving them that name. Of course I hate mine

I think Medea was justified in her revenge on Jason.

Well, Jason took another as his wife and infuriated Medea, with whom he had an uncertain number of children. She killed the other woman and 2 of her own sons by Jason.
After all she did for him. Faithless, foolish man.
