Jessica Deckard said...: You need to finish reading Medea for Monday. We discussed the three ways Medea and Jason are married; similar to the way marriages can work in the US today, there were three options open to Medea and Jason. They first had a heroes' handshake (p. 436) - typically used to bond two men (that's important because of the way Medea is seen. cf her "unsex me now" speech). Then they are married in front of the gods (page 442 or so) in Iolcos, and they are also married in Corinth when they get there (that's in front of the citizens). So they have a contract between two people, between them and god, and between them and society. Thus, they are married three times.

We also discussed Jason's reasoning on page 445/446 (long speech) about his three reasons for leaving Medea and the three ways that his new marriage will help her.; September 17, 2009 at 7:56 PM
