Cavalcade of Tales

Medea and Jason: The Bold and the Useless


Listen Later

In the first of many episodes where Drew discusses the shortcomings of the Greek Heroes of antiquity, today's episode covers Medea. This goes over how Jason doesn't deserve to be remembered as a hero, how everyone else on the Argo took care of the challenges and then how he tried to betray the wife he had convinced to leave her homeland in disgrace. *Content Warning* this episode does contain discussions of dubious consent and the killing of children. Listen discretion is advised.
