Pherekydes and Simonides say that Medea made Jason young again by boiling him. Medea, after killing her own children, riding in a chariot with winged serpents, escaped to Athens where she married Aigeus, the son of Pandion. She tried them on and was consumed and Creon, embracing his daughter, died too. When Medea was about to be exiled from Corinth by Creon, she begged him to let her remain one day upon gaining her request, as a reward for the favor she sent her children with gifts for Glauke, a dress and golden head band. Jason came to Corinth with Medea and then betrothed himself to Glauke, the daughter of Creon king of Corinth. The Anonymous Hypothesis to Euripides’ MedeaĪs found in several of the manuscripts.
