Having finessed their escape from King Aeetes, Jason and Medea return to Jason's home with the object of their quest in hand - the golden fleece! Jason's wicked stepfather, the usurping King Pelias, had promised the kingdom for the fleece. Will he honor his promise to cede the throne to Jason (and Medea)? If he does not honor that promise - and he won't of course because he's one of those really wicked uncles - what will the newlyweds do given all that they have risked? They should be on the throne that was rightfully Jason's in the first place. How will they react to Pelias's decision? Will Medea take matters into her own hands again? Will there be collateral damage from her actions? Was the second prophecy - beware a young relative - accurate after all? Find out in Medea Act III.
