Jason and the Golden Fleece- Cassadi Cordea

The Golden Fleece was the skin of a golden ram that Jason, along with 50 other Greeks called the argonauts, sailed on the ship Argo to retrieve. Jason's uncle had killed his father and taken the throne for himself, but Jason was still the rightful king. The argonauts sailed to a land of a king who possessed the fleece. The fleece was heavily guarded by a dragon. Medea, the king's daughter, falls in love with Jason and helps him get the fleece. They run off together, Jason gets his throne back, and then leaves Medea. Her anger leads her to kill their children, and she tricks him into being killed. 

With the help of the goddess Aphrodite, Medea fell deeply in love with Jason. Because she loved him so much, she helped him and used her powers to get the Golden Fleece. After they got the fleece, they ran away together. But her love was mostly unrequited. Jason mostly just let her help him, and then left her after a while. Her love for him turned to anger and she longed for revenge. She killed their children so that she could hurt him. Her passionate feelings for him drove her to madness.
