    About this ebook

    Medea is often remembered as one of the great witches of Greek mythology. She betrayed her father to help Jason steal the golden fleece, she killed her enemies ruthlessly, she burned her own children to death. But that's such a man's telling of the tale . Here's the story of what really happened, and its final untold chapter.
