Ovid Book Seven

Medea & Jason
"Medea, you are doomed to fail: the force you face must be some diety."

Medea & Aeson
"Now I have need of juices to renew the life of an old man, so that he can regain his youth, the years that he first knew."

Medea & Pelias
"Spurred by the witch's words, each girl was keen to be most pious through impiety-- most pure by rushing to impurity."

The Flight of Medea
"And it was here, in Corinth, that Medea now took atrocious vengeance, killing Jason's new wife: the sorceress burned her with poison,"

Theseus & Aegeus
"Now Aegeus, whom Medea had decieved, was just about to have his own son drink this brew, as if he were an enemy."
