f her latest trouble! Nurse What is it, old man? Do not begrudge me the news. Tutor Nothing. I am sorry I said as much as I have. Nurse I beg you by your beard, do not conceal this from your fellow-slave! I will keep it a secret if I must. Tutor As I approached the gaming-tables where the old men sit, near the holy spring of Peirene, I heard someone say （I was pretending not to listen） that Creon, this country's king, was going to exile these children and their mother from the land of Corinth. Whether the story is true I do not know. I could wish it were not so. Nurse But will Jason allow this to happen to his sons even if he is at odds with their mother? Tutor Old marriage-ties give way to new: he is no friend to this house. Nurse We are done for, it seems, if we add this new trouble to our old ones before we've weathered those Tutor But you, hold your peace, since it is not the right time for your mistress to know this, and say nothing of this tale. Nurse O children, do

Enter by Eisodos A Aegeus, the aged king of Athens, in travelling costume. Aegeus Medea, I wish you joy: no one knows a better way than this to address a friend. Medea Joy to you as well, Aegeus, son of wise Pandion! Where have you come from to be visiting the soil of this land? Aegeus I have come from the ancient oracle of Phoebus. Medea Why did you go to earth's prophetic center? Aegeus To inquire how I might get offspring. Medea Have you really lived so long a life without childrens Theseus. But the oracle, which may be Euripides' own invention, clearly does not belong with this story, for how could Aegeus beget a son if he violated the oracle's instructions? When Aegeus departs at the end of this scene, he seems bound for Athens, not Trozen. Medea And what were you in need of that you sailed to this land? Aegeus There is a man named Pittheus, king of Trozen. Medea The son of Pelops and a man most pious, they say. Aegeus It is with him that I wish to share the god's

has been unfaithful to his family. Aegeus Pay him no mind then since, as you say, he is base. Medea His passion was to marry a king's daughter. Aegeus Who has given his daughter to him? Tell me the rest. Medea Creon, who rules this land of Corinth. Aegeus But it is quite understandable, then, that you are distressed. Medea I am finished. Furthermore, I am being exiled from the country. Aegeus By whom? This is yet another misfortune you speak of. Medea It is Creon who exiles me from CCorinth. Aegeus Does Jason accede to this? I do not approve of that either. Medea He pretends not to, but he is ready to put up with it. Medea kneels before Aegeus in the posture of a suppliant. But I beg you by your beard and by your knees and I make myself your suppliant: have pity, have pity on an unfortunate woman, and do not allow me to be cast into exile without a friend, but receive me into your land and your house as a suppliant. If you do so, may your longing for children be brought

Chorus-Leader May Hermes, Maia's son, patron of travellers, bring you safely to your house, and may you accomplish what you have set your heart on, Aegeus, since in my eyes you are a generous man.

your earlier resentment. For it is natural for a woman to get angry when a marriage of a different sort presents itself to the husband. But your thoughts have changed for the better, and though it took time, you have recognized the superior plan. These are the acts of a prudent woman. Children, your father has given anxious thought and has secured for you—with the gods' help—abundant prosperity. I think that some day with your new brothers you will hold the very first place in the land of Corinth. But grow to manhood. The rest your father will see to, with the help of whatever god it is that smiles on him. May I see you as fine strapping lads coming to young manhood, victorious over my enemies! Medea turns away weeping. You there, why do you dampen your eyes with pale tears and turn your white cheek away, and why are you not pleased to hear these words from me? Medea It is nothing. I was thinking about the children. Jason But why, poor soul, do you lament over these children? M
