Medea

Jason and Medea, a powerful sorceress, return to Greece after their quest for the Golden Fleece, but their happiness is short-lived as the king banishes her, setting off a chain of events that leads to Medea's vengeful plot.

In a remote barbarian land, Jason and the Argonauts seek the Golden Fleece, but their arrival disrupts the native's sacred rituals. Medea, a powerful sorceress and high priestess, abandons her beliefs to follow Jason to Greece, only to be deserted and banished by the king. Consumed by fury, Medea plots a devastating revenge against those who wronged her.
