Medea is a character from Greek mythology who ran off with a wimpy little man called Jason, who is most well known for being a dirty no-good thief. Fortunately for him, being a dirty no-good thief was particularly alluring in the days of Ancient Greece and so Medea was captivated by him almost immediately (that and he had an adorable corgi dog, and a boat full of demigods she wanted to screw). It was not clear from her love for him that she was actually a deranged psychotic, so Jason happily sailed away with her and her brother, whom she had invited for entertainment value. Unfortunately for the little corgi dog, he was brought along for nutritional purposes and was eventually eaten.
