The chorus sympathise with Medea and talk of how it is better not to have children
Jason enters the stage
He explains that he's marrying the princess to help the family by giving them money
Medea claims that he is a coward and is only marrying her as she is young
CREON! King of Corinth, tells Medea that she must leave immediatley
She convinces him to give her one day to pack her things and say her goodbyes
He claims that she cannot do the damage that he fears in one day
Medea meets Aegeus, King of Athens
He says that he is there to ask the [magical women who can tell the future] if he will ever have children
They tell him jibberish

In return, she will give a potion that will give him a child
He agrees to this
Medea devises a plan to kill her enemies
She has Jason come back and apoligises
She says that she was foolish and that he was completely right
Jason falls for this (idiot)
