When I first read Medea I thought, why would the Greeks promote an idea such as killing one's own brother to betray her father and help a man she doesn't know? It didn't seem logical at the time. But as the story progressed, the man who Medea helped, Jason, betrays her. Medea takes her own revenge on Jason for causing her to lose everything. She sacrificed everything she had for him and he only betrayed her so she kills his bride.

Then I realized it explained the dangers of a damaged love. If Medea was willing to kill her brother simply for her love for Jason, Jason should have thought twice before crossing lines with Medea. She was very powerful and her rage came rational decisions. She went all out because she had nothing to lose. She had already given everything up for Jason.
