Medea is considered one of the most powerful sorceresses of the Greek myths, entering after the Argonaut expedition led by Jason landed on the shores of Colchis to take possession of the golden fleece. Since then, her dramatic story has been remade and retold many times. The Benda’s work is one of the most successful.
