Medea Page #3

One of my women will tell Jason

to come to me.

I'll will be loving and tell him:

"You must marry the king's daughter"."

"I'll tell him:
"This marriage"

"will be useful to our sons"."

Oh god! Oh justice dear to god!

Oh sunlight!

As you have revealed your plans,

we want to be useful...

...and advise you to remember

the most sacred human laws.

I can no longer act differently.

You can't sympathise

because you've not suffered like me.

Who'll give you the courage

to do what you have in mind?

Who'll give it to you?

I'll find the courage in thinking

about his destruction.

But it won't help you,

poor desperate woman.

That's enough, wet nurse!

It's time to act!

This chatter is useless.

Go and fetch Jason.

But don't tell him of our plans.

You love me! And you're a woman!

In your old robes, Medea...

...in your old robes.

Children, come here!

You wanted me to come.

Here I am. What is it?

Take these robes

and give them to Glauce...

...for her wedding.

Tell her that I do not hate her

and wish her well.

Now take your father's hand,

he'll take you to her.

Forget all past bitterness

towards him...

...as I have done.

We have made peace.

Come on, children.

Take him by the hand.

I have a dark presentiment of pain.

Children...

...you will live long lives

and grip your father's hand.

Poor me.

I do nothing but cry

and suffer dreadful anguish.

Just as I have decided to finish...

...my undignified disagreement

with your father.

Here I am, crying.

Don't repent for what you've done,

it's natural for you to be mad at me.

But now it seems

that wisdom prevails inside you.

Children...

...now you know your father

has been thinking of your future.

Together with your brothers, you will

occupy first place in this city.

Why are you still crying?

Don't concern yourself.

Woman is weak and cries easily.

Promise me you'll beg the bride...

...to convince the king

not to banish our children.

Don't worry, I'll do it.

Quickly! Go now!

If you're lucky, as I hope...

...you'll return with the happy news

that we're expecting.

Let's go.

Mama sends you this gift

for your wedding.

She says she doesn't hate you,

but wishes you well.

You cannot accept this gift,

listen to us!

Thank your mother and tell her

I am pleased with this gift.

Dress me.

What a beautiful wedding dress!

Come with me.

I was looking for you.

Don't look at me like that...

...full of anger towards your husband.

You must leave this city...

...together with your sons. Now!

I am personally interested

in your exile...

...and I won't go home until you

are banished from my kingdom.

Why my sons too?

Because you frighten me.

I'm afraid for my daughter,
