Medea, a witch, magician, descendent of Helios, betrayes her father and her race, killing her brother and helping the Greek adventurer Jason, who she loves, to get the Golden Fleece.
Fugitives from the pursuit of Medea´s father, she and Jason live with their two children in Corinto, where the old Creonte is king. Creonte has an only beautiful daughter, Creusa, who is offered to be the wife of Jason. He agrees to marry her and disavows Medea. To Medea, eaten up with jealousy, there can be no justice, only a raging revenge. Here begins the long night of Medea.
