HISTORYAn unfortunate princess, labeled as a witch in Greek mythology. Jason, a hero famous from the Argo Expedition argued with King Pelias, the usurper of his father's country. He managed to make the king promise to return the country to him if he went far east to Colchis and returned with the Golden Fleece. The princess of Colchis that possessed this Golden Fleece was Medea.

King Aeetes of Colchis excelled at magic. As his daughter, she also practiced magic but her personality was far from what you might call a witch.

Her fate was confounded after the hero Jason appeared. When the Goddess Aphrodite who supported Jason realized that the King of Colchis was unshakable, she controlled his daughter Medea's mind and made her blindly love Jason. As a result, Medea betrayed her father and her country for a foreigner called Jason whom she had never seen before. Medea nullified her father's magic, and even the enchanted fire-breathing oxen, and allowed Jason to obtain the Golden Fleece.

Of course, the King of Colchis was infuriated, and personally led his army to capture Jason before he left the country. To assist Jason's escape, Medea was once again used by the Goddess. Medea boarded the Argo, which belonged to the man she loved yet only knew by name, and sliced her brother Apsyrtus into pieces right before the eyes of her pursuing father. The King was overcome by grief and ordered for the collection of the pieces of his dead son. Seizing that opportunity, the Argo escaped its pursuers, and Jason safely returned to his native land of Iolcus.

Returning to his native land, Jason asked for the return of the country as promised, but King Pelias refused, and formed a plot to kill him. Jason relied on Medea's magic three times to escape the danger, and Medea came up with a plan for Jason. They invited King Pelias to visit, and killed his servant in front of him. After reviving him with her magic, Medea offered to cast this spell of immortality on the king as well.

The King was overjoyed and gave his body to Medea. Of course, his dead body was left in pieces and thrown into the sea. Thus Jason became a king, but his fellow Argonauts did not approve of his conduct; most of all, they disapproved of Medea's existence. She had betrayed her country for a man, killed her brother to save herself, and now taken the throne by deceit. Medea was denounced as a witch, and chased out of the country together with Jason.

Jason and Medea arrived at Corinth, where they were welcomed by the king. Medea finally found peaceful rest in this land. This peace, finally obtained after her abduction and denouncement, did not last long. The King of Corinth took a liking to Jason, and decided to have his daughter marry him. Jason also chose the young daughter, and Medea was exiled.

Her actions after that were indeed those of a witch. Medea appeared at Jason's wedding and used her magic to burn all who attended including the king of Corinth and his daughter. Jason was the only one left alive. Her fate after she left Corinth is unknown. As her life was filled only with betrayal, it is said that the princess became a true witch and continued to roam the Greek lands.
NOTESBio and stats pulled from the F/SN game; anyone familiar with Greek mythology will notice several key differences from the traditional Medea legend and Nasu's version of it.
