GreekMythology: Medea (the one with the good advice), is taught the ways of magic by another powerful and legendary witch of the Greek myth, her aunt Circe. The name “Circe” is evident of the magical circle, the one that protects the initiators of magical incantations and spells. Euripides is the one who insists that Medea kills her children, other ancient sources do not share the view of the tragic poet. Indeed, a deeper analysis of the myth may reveal that “the murder of Medea’s children” may not be actual murder but a metaphor echoing a magical ritual intended to bestow immortality on Medea’s sons. Medea herself seems like a goddess that Zeus wants to marry. It is also said that the habitants of Corinth, where Medea had found shelter, feared Medea’s influence and killed her children. The Corinthians blamed Medea for the unspeakable murder because they wanted her to leave their city. In any case, Medea will find her mate in the face of another fabulous hero, Achilles when they meet each other in the Isles of the Blessed (μακάρων νῆσοι).
