Jason's father, Aeson, was usurped by his younger brother before this story begins. Jason knew he was true heir to the throne, but was told that to receive the throne he had find the golden fleece. Jason built the boat "The Argo" and filled it with his Argonauts and set sail. To acquire the fleece from the king of Colchis, Jacob must complete a series of impossible tasks. With the help, and love, of the kings daughter, Jason acquires the jacket. On the journey home, Medea, the king's daughter, cut her brother into pieces and throws him over. This causes a great amount of misfortune during their return. Upon arrival, Aesons brother has killed him, but Medea uses magic to kill his brother and give Jason the throne. Jason betrays her and she kills his kids.
Revenge after love is almost always very pointless. It is petty, obsesses with the past, and gets nobody anywhere. The revenge that Medea took on Jason was an extreme overreaction and ruined his life. While she did not have to do it, women are crazy.
Did anyone ever have those weird bible picture books? Did the Greeks have a version?
