He paid a visit to Medea. Not a bright idea. She was understandably angry. Her husband did leave her for another woman, after all. Instead of admitting that he left Medea because she is messed up in the mind, he made the most ridiculous excuse in the history if excuses.
Jason claimed that he only married Glauce behind Medea's back so that he could raise their station and give their children a royal position. Did he actually think she would fall for that? She didn't, of course, as it was the most absurd explanation ever, as we said before.
Medea claimed that she might have forgiven Jason, if he had told her he was leaving instead of just disappearing and having her find out from another. This seems vaguely reasonably. But her other reason was that she would have been able to forgive Jason if they didn't have children together. I don't believe that, and I'm sure my readers don't either. Even if they didn't have kids, there's no way she would have forgiven her unfaithful husband. Cheating is wrong, plain and simple. Combine that with a crazy woman? That was doomed not to end well. Really, what was Jason thinking? Cheating and then coming to her home to insult her? Maybe he's the insane one.
