Medea: Across the Sands of Time

Medea, polypharmakos, notorious woman, cassiphone, the witch of Colchis. She of many names, many myths, many centuries. Her tale begins, not with the arrival of Jason and his Argonauts, but long before, as a princess, learning to harness her magic with her ever-famous aunt Circe. She grows into a powerful witch, and longs for her escape from the royal fortress of Colchis. Her opportunity arrives with the Argo - Jason, Orpheus, Atalanta, Castor and Polydeuces, and all their celebrated crew land on her shores. They have come to claim the Golden Fleece, to steal it from the king. Medea agrees to help them, launching a journey that will test her strength and magic, a journey that ultimately ends in betrayal and bloodshed. Medea celebrates every facet of the most notorious woman in Greek Mythology - her strength, her resolve, her darkness, her heartbreak. For, she is magical, murderous, and deeply, deeply human.
