THE ARGUMENT.

* * * *

JASON, having come to Corinth, and bringing with him Medea, espouses

Glauce, the daughter of Creon, king of Corinth. But Medea, on the point of

being banished from Corinth by Creon, having asked to remain one day, and

having obtained her wish, sends to Glauce, by the hands of her sons,

presents, as an acknowledgment for the favor, a robe and a golden chaplet,

which she puts on and perishes; Creon also having embraced his daughter is

destroyed. But Medea, when she had slain her children, escapes to Athens,

in a chariot drawn by winged dragons, which she received from the Sun, and

there marries Ægeus son of Pandion.
