English Summary:-
Euripedes' Medea opens in a state of conflict. The cause of conflict was that Medea was deceived by Jason(Medea's husband). Outside the royal palace, a nurse laments the events that have lead to the present crisis. Medea was of a people at the far edge of the Black Sea. She was a powerful sorceress, princess of Colchis, and a granddaughter of the sun god Helias. Jason, a great Greek hero. Jason loses his father at a very young age. After his father death, his step-uncle(Pelius) takes away the power of the throne and sends Jason for institutional learning.

After a long time, when Jason becomes a handsome youth he wants the right of the throne. But his uncle refused the proposal. Rather, he plans a terrible story to kill Jason. Jason's uncle tells Jason to bring the golden fleece. King Aeetes, lord of Colchis and Medea's father, kept the Fleece under guard. The traps set by Aeetes made the Golden Fleece all but impossible to obtain. By Medea's aid, Jason overcame these obstacles, and Medea herself killed the giant serpent that guarded the Fleece. Then, to buy time during their escape, Medea killed her own brother and tossed the pieces of his corpse behind the Argo as they sailed for Greece.

Medea and Jason returned to his hereditary kingdom of Iolcus. Jason's father had died, and his uncle Pelias sat, without right, on the throne. Medea helps Jason to obtain the throne.  Rather than win Jason his throne, this move forced Jason, Medea, and their children into exile. Finally, they settled in Corinth, where Jason eventually took a new bride. But Medea couldn’t bear this audacity of Jason. She becomea furious. The Chorus of Corinthian women enters, full of sympathy for Medea.

They ask the Nurse to bring Medea out so that they might comfort her; the unfortunate woman's cries can be heard even outside the house. But Medea announces her intention to seek revenge. She asks the Chorus, as follow women, to aid her by keeping silent. Creon, king of Corinth and Jason's new father-in-law, enters and tells Medea that she is banished. She and her children must leave Corinth immediately. Medea begs for mercy, and she is granted a reprieve of one day.

The old king grants Medea's appeal and later leaves, and Medea tells the Chorus that one day is all she needs to get her revenge. Jason enters and scolds Medea for her loose tongue, telling her that her exile is her own fault. Medea accusing Jason of cowardice, reminding him of all that she has done for him, and condemning him for his faithlessness. Jason rationalizes all of his actions, with neatly enumerated arguments. He offers Medea money and aid in her exile, but she proudly refuses. Jason exits. After a while, Aegeus, king of Athens and old friend of Medea's, enters.

Aegeus is childless. Medea tells him of her problems, and asks for safe haven in Athens. She offers to help him to have a child; she has thorough knowledge of drugs and medicines. Aegeus eagerly agrees. If Medea can reach Athens, he will protect her. Medea makes the old king vow by all the gods. Then Medea plans to kill Jason's new bride and father-in-law by the aid of poisoned gifts. To make her revenge complete, she will kill her children to wound Jason and to protect them from counter-revenge by Creon's allies and friends.

The Chorus begs Medea to reconsider these plans, but Medea insists that her revenge must be completed. The Tutor soon returns with the children, telling Medea that the gifts have been received. Medea then waits anxiously for news from the palace. She speaks lovingly to her children, in a scene that is both moving and chilling, even as she steels herself so that she can kill them. A few moments later a messenger comes bringing the awaited news. The poisoned dress and diadem have worked: the princess is dead.

When Creon saw his daughter's corpse, he embraced her body. The poison then worked against him. The deaths were brutal and terrifying. Both daughter and father died in excruciating pain, and the bodies were barely recognizable. Medea now prepares to kill her children. She rushes into the house with a shriek. We hear the children's screams from inside the house; the Chorus considers interfering, but in the end does nothing. Jason re-enters with soldiers. He fears for the children's safety, because he knows Creon's friends will seek revenge; he has come to take the children under guard.

The Chorus sorrowfully informs Jason that his children are dead. Jason now orders his guards to break the doors down, so that he can take his revenge against his wife for these atrocities. Medea appears above the palace, in a chariot drawn by dragons. She has the children's corpses with her. She mocks Jason pitilessly, foretelling an embarrassing death for him; she also refuses to give him the bodies. There is nothing Jason can do; with the aid of her chariot, Medea will escape to Athens. The Chorus closes the play, musing on the terrible unpredictability of fate.
