Best Answer

Medea was very upset, because she had fallen in love with the hero, Jason, and said that she would help him as long as he married her. He agreed. Then, in Corinth, Jason abandoned Medea and instead was going to marry the princess of that land. Angered, Medea gave the princess a poisoned cloak. Medea also killed the two children that she had with Jason, although the reasons why vary between sources.
