Revelation of Medea is a modern retelling of the myth of Jason and Medea, the captain of the Argo and the princess of Colchis. In a story that spans decades and continents, Revelation of Medea reexamines the famous story from the perspective of Medea, the witch and priestess of the dark goddess Hecate who betrays her family and country to marry the foreign adventurer Jason and aid him on his quest to steal The Golden Fleece, and her eventual transformation into the embodiment of the vengeful feminine who destroys her own family on her quest for revenge against those who have wronged her.
