After winning the Golden Fleece with Medea’s help, Jason swears eternal love to her and flees with her in search of a place to start again.

In Corinth, however, he agrees to marry Creusa, daughter of King Creon, in exchange for asylum, breaking his oath and unleashing Medea’s fury.

Pursued by the Furies, Jason must descend into the underworld to try to escape a tragic fate.
