0 Shakeepuddn Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 POW!!! Medea: Yes, a real peach from the Island a Colchis (Georgia). Grandaughter of Helos (Sun God). Witch. Has many endings to her tale, but was undone by Jason's rejection in the end, considering she had been spellbound to love him forever. She gave him a magic oil to rub on himself and his weapons when sowing the dragon's teeth to protect him from the firey breath of the oxen, and told him the secret of casting a stone into the midst of the warriors grown from those teeth in order to confuse them and make them battle each other. To avoid the pursuit of her father Aeeles, she chopped up her brother and scattered his pieces along their escape route, knowing her father would collect them all. Jason and Medea ? Medea was from Georgia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Shakeepuddn
A magic royal of the sun
Of many ends for love undone,
A Georgia peach of oils fair
Assuaging fire from a dare.
Secrets whispered of a stone
Confounding arms from serpent grown.
A sibling cast upon the trail
Bit by bit the hunter fails.
