Jason returns home, and the chorus informs him that his children, like his bride and father-in-law, are dead. He finds Medea on a chariot pulled by dragons, and calls her a lioness crueler than Scylla. She admits to her copious cruelty in trying to vex him. She casts him away to bury Creon and his daughter and plans to take her own children to the sacred fields of Hera, where they will not be disturbed. | Jason returns home, and the chorus informs him that his children, like his bride and father-in-law, are dead.
