The Heartless Mede Flight with Her JASON Orders Her
to Delay Her Angry Fathers Pursuit. From the
Famous Painting by H. j. Draper)

a former marriage, and was forced to fee
from Athens to save her life.
She returned to Colchis-perhaps to
the very palace whose ruins have just
been brought to highland there, in COM
parative quietude, passed the closing years
of her eventful life
That the woman herself was something
more than myth is shown by the mention
of Medea which the veracious Herodotus
makes in the early chapters of his history.
- There he tells of a warlike expedition
against Aea, the capital city Of Colchis,
on the river Phasis, which had for its i'm
mediate object her capture. The palace
whose ruins have lately been uncovered
stood in the city of Aea, and it was doubt
less there that the warriors who came sail
ing up the river in search of Medea found
the princess.
The ruins of Medeas home have as yet
been only superfcially explored, but
enough has already been seen to make 1t
certain that they will yield a wealth of
historic treasures enough to fill a whole
museum.
There are many broken columns" says
the first report of the discovery to reach
this country, rude stone foundations and
indications of walls, showing that the
palace and it's courts must have covered
at least three acres of ground. Here and
there are bronze urns, with Greek letters
inscribed on them. There are many
earthen pots and some stone vases, beau
tifully carved, although for the most part
broken. Scratching into some parts of
the ruins, as time allowed, all kinds of
utensils have been brought to light, in
cluding quite a number of articles OF
feminine adornment, such as bronze, silver
and even gold earrings and finger-rings,
bracelets cunningly wrought and some
times beautifully carved"
Every fragment Of these precious relics
will be studied by archaeologists with the
greatest care in the hope that it may re-
veal new and still more surprising chap
ters in the story of Medea, or that 1t may
help us to understand how much Of what
we already know about her Is truth and
how much legend. Scholars are quite gen.
orally agreed that there is much Of real
history mingled with the myths Of Jason
and the Golden Fleece, and this Is why
The discovery Of the palace where lived
the princess who played such prominent
part In them is likely to prove of the
greatest importance.
According to the fable the Golden
Fleece had been created by Mercury to
carry the children OF the King Of Thessaly
to safety after he had deserted his wife,
Nephele, for another woman. Landing in
the kingdom of Colchis, on the eastern
shore OF the Black Sea, the ram was sac
riiced to Jupiter and the Golden Fleece
was given to Aetes, King of Colchis and
father Of Medea who placed II in a
sacred grove, guarded by a sleepless
dragon. The tale Of the Golden Fleece
reaching Thessaly Jason is tempted by his
uncle to go in search of It. Argus built
special vessel for him, large enough to
hold fifty men, who we're called the Argo-
nauts, after the name OF the vessel, the

and the Colchians were ashamed.
AS he sowed the dragon teeth armed
men sprang up ready to slay Jason. He
defended himself at first with his sword,
but when his opponents began to press
him he had resort to Medeas charm. In
stantly the dragonmen turned upon one
another. The dragon, on guard before the
Fleece, was lulled to sleep by few drops
of a liquid prepared by Medea's secret
arts. Jason seized the Fleece and hurry
ing to his ship, took Medea with him. Her
younger brother, Absyrtus, accompanied
Medea.
When she saw her fathers ship in pur-
suit of the Argo the ruthless sorceress did
not hesitate to slay her brother and scat

would restore Aeson's youth. She worked
