Question

How does Medea kill her children? I know she says she will bury them but does she actually?

According to the myth, she takes their dead bodies with her when she leaves Corinth to flee to Athens. I assume she wants to bury them, but must do it elsewhere to prevent their bodies from being desecrated since they are regicides.

Also, she kills them with a sword.
