Erinnert ihr euch noch an Jason, den Argonauten, der das Goldene Vlies raubte? Er reiste damals nach Kolchis, nach Georgien; verliebte sich dort in die Priesterin Medea, und diese half ihm bei der Aufgabe. Danach fliehen beide nach Korinth.
Der folgende Auszug aus der Interpretation der Geschichte von Christa Wolf spielt in Korinth. Medea ist aus dem Palast des Königs Kreon verstoßen worden, und hat soeben das schreckliche Geheimnis entdeckt, auf das die Stadt gebaut ist.
