Reducing a complex Euripidean tragedy to a sensationalist true-crime headline strips the myth of its philosophical depth. It trades the nuance of classical literature for the cheap shock value of modern social media.

The Mom Who Killed Her Own Kids for RevengeAdded:
Did you know that in Greek mythology, a woman killed her own children just to get revenge on her cheating husband? Her name was Medea, and she was a powerful sorceress who fell madly in love with the hero Jason.
>> [music] >> When Jason came searching for the golden fleece, Medea used her magic to help him complete impossible tasks. She gave him potions to survive fire-breathing bulls and spells to [music] defeat an army of skeleton warriors. They got married and had two children together. Jason had everything he wanted, but then he decided to dump Medea for a princess.
[music] Why? Political power. He wanted to climb the social ladder. Big mistake. Medea didn't just [music] get mad, she got creative. First, she sent the new bride a beautiful dress as a wedding gift, but the dress was cursed. When the princess put it on, it burst into flames and burned her alive. But Medea wasn't done.
To hurt Jason in the worst way possible, she murdered their own children with her bare hands. Then she escaped in a chariot pulled by dragons, leaving Jason with nothing. Never betray a woman with magical powers.
