After the campaign, Jason became a national hero, and before him everywhere the doors opened hospitably. King of Corinth, Creon, met him most cordially. He gave him part of the palace for housing and did not want to hear about leaving. Yes, and Jason himself did not think about it, because he became very friends with Creon's daughter, the beautiful Creus. True, Medea was also good. She had black hair and black eyes, burning with an unusual fire. Zeus himself fell in love with her, but she rejected his courtship. And Kreus, a simple and quiet Greek woman, beckoned the heart of Jason with her affection and charm. He was well and calm with her. He was always afraid of Medea. She had such power that he could not think of without fear. Yes, and the realization that he owed everything to her was Jason annoyed, unpleasant and burned him with shame. Moreover, he felt something alien in her. She wore a bright oriental outfit, which strangely differed next to the modest clothes of Creus.
Seeing that the Corinthian princess is becoming more and more favorable to him, Jason gained courage and told Medea the truth: that he does not love her, that overseas marriages in Greece are illegal and he intends to marry Creus. He was even surprised that his words almost did not impress Medea. She dutifully kissed his hand, thanked him for all the good that she knew, and said that she would keep the best memories of him. And for the bride, I made a marriage gift - an amazingly good dress.
On the second day, the engagement of Jason and Creus was to take place. The princess took off her ashes and tunic and put on a gift from Medea on her naked body. The dress besieged her body, adhered tightly to him and burned like fire. A golden crown at the temples smoldered, and a flame crept along her pale cheeks. They tried to extinguish the fire, but the water turned into steam and enveloped the princess with a milk cloud. Nothing helped. Outfits saturated with poisonous juices of various potions were carried into the body, and the poor girl burned alive. She screamed in deadly torment. And Medea, hearing the cries of Creus, killed her children and fled to Athens in a chariot drawn by winged dragons. Corinthians buried the bodies of her sons in the temple of Hera, and worship was held annually on their grave.
It is not known what happened to Jason. They say that after a while he met Medea again. They forgave each other and left for Colchis. Old Eet rejoiced at the return of his son-in-law, for he had no heir, and his kingdom was threatened by enemies.
