Medea is infuriated by Jason's abandoning her and their children, and makes threats to kill Creon and the Princess. She did not restore him, and Jason and Medea were chased from Iolocus to Corinth, where they lived as exiles.
Medea managed to trick Pelias' daughters into killing him by promising that, if they did, she could restore him to his youth. In Iolocus, she and Jason hatched a plot to steal rulership from the king, Pelias. While she and Jason were fleeing Clochis by boat, Medea killed her brother so that those pursuing them would have to stop and bury his body. Aphrodite, goddess of love, made Medea fall in love with Jason and then help him to steal the Golden Fleece.
The Golden Fleece was guarded by a dragon in Medea's homeland, the Island of Clochis. In the midst of her lamentations, the Nurse recounts how Jason left his homeland, Iolocus, in a ship called the Argo to find a treasure called the Golden Fleece. Medea's Nurse bemoans Medea's fate-she has been abandoned with her two young children by her husband, Jason, who has married the Princess, daughter of Creon, king of Corinth. The tragedy of Medea begins in medias res (in the middle of things).
