King Creon, also fearing what Medea might do, banishes her, declaring that she and her children must leave Corinth immediately. Her elderly nurse and the Chorus of Corinthian women (generally sympathetic to her plight) fear what she might do to herself or her children. The play opens with Medea grieving over the loss of her husband’s love. However, he then left her, seeking to advance his political ambitions by marrying Glauce, the daughter of King Creon of Corinth.
