AntigoneMedea has just killed four people who are Creon, king of Corinth, the princess with whom Jason is in love, and her two little children. Jason then prays to the gods, especially Zeus, father of all gods, to punish Medea for her crimes. From the context of the quote, the refrain addresses the audience regarding the unexpected and incredible end of the play. Medea then escapes to Athens in a chariot lent to her by Helios, the sun god and her grandfather. Euripides always uses this type of conclusion to end most of his works. Euripides suggests that the overall theme of the quote is that the gods are not as we think they should be. In other words, we cannot expect much from the gods. Instead, we have to handle our matters ourselves. The phrase "Many are the Fates whom Zeus dispenses in Olympus" tells us that the gods do not favor mortal people. Even if the gods help mortals, it is only because those mortals have some kind of relationship with the gods. So, Euripides tells this story not in favor of the gods. The overall theme is that the gods are not as good as they should be. Medea was exiled three times: from her hometown near the Black Sea, from Jason's homeland of Iolchos. , and now from the city of Corinth. We would naturally think that a woman like Medea, exiled many times, is the most vulnerable and helpless woman. He has no friends or citizenship. In Euripides' time, being an exile is not an attractive position a person wants to be in. It's like suicide. Most people in Greece at that time regarded foreigners as unintelligent barbarians. Furthermore, Medea will be in exile with two children. He should be in a lot of trouble. On the other hand, Jason has won the love of the princess of Corinth. He will be Creon's son-in-law. Jason abandons Medea after all she has done for him. Jason does not fear Medea at all because he has the support of Creon, king of Corinth. Jason is supposed to be more powerful than Medea. Jason is the king's son-in-law and Medea is an exile. But, as Euripides suggests, what the audience expects does not come true at all.
