Medea's Spirit

LINK TO SITE



This is a beautiful line of spam in my opinion: In the night I’ll put another. It brought to mind tears as stars and mythology.

I did a little googling and found this essay by one of my favorite authors Margaret Atwood about the goddess betrayed by Jason of Golden Fleece fame.

If anyone was capable of setting her tears in the sky as stars, certainly the sorceress Medea had the power? There’s no record of what happened to her after she was banished from Corinth due to the fiery wedding dress fake-out. The legend is, she disappeared in a chariot drawn by dragons.

Let's work on how to cite stuff you've found on-line. Also, how to put it on the blog so it isn't too giant and ugly.
