From Aeson and Pelias to the court of Aeetes
This reading reads the name in a form taken here as Euripides, and stays with Medea. They begin with Aeson and Pelias, then with Jason at the court of Aeetes.
The tasks named there are the fire-breathing bronze bulls, and the sowing of the dragon teeth of Cadmus. Medea helps Jason through that work. They also name the death of her brother Apsyrtos, and a youth-magic she later works.
Ten years in Corinth, and a delay of one day
Exile follows, to Corinth. Ten years pass, and two sons are born. Then Glauke and Creon enter the story.
Medea is granted a delay of one day. A poisoned gift is sent. The sons are killed. This reading keeps those turns in that order, and do not add a translator’s name or a year of staging the telling never gives.
A road that continues toward Athens
After those deaths, this reading does not close the story in Corinth. They follow Medea toward Athens, as the tale itself names the road.
The retelling, as they give it, runs from the bulls and the brother’s death through the Corinthian house, and leaves her still moving. That span is what they stay with.
