In Euripides' play "Medea," Medea asks Aegeus, the King of Athens, for sanctuary and protection in his city after she has committed her violent acts. She seeks his promise that he will allow her to stay in Athens and not hand her over to her enemies. In return, she offers to help him with a solution to his childlessness. Aegeus agrees, providing her with the refuge she desperately needs.

She doesn't want Aegeus to recognize his son, Theseus, because Aegeus would then reinstate Theseus's position as heir and he would inherit the throne of Athens after Aegeus dies. Medea wants her own son, Medus, to rule Athens after Aegeus dies - she wants to remove Theseus so that this can happen.
Aegeus offers Medea refuge and protection in Athens after she flees from Corinth. He promises her a safe place to stay and the opportunity to start anew, provided she can help him with his own desire for children. This alliance is significant for Medea, as it gives her a chance to escape her dire circumstances and plan her next steps. Aegeus's offer highlights themes of loyalty and the potential for new beginnings amidst her tragic circumstances.

Medea married him and then left him.She married Aegeus,when Theseus returned back to Athens,Medea tried to poison him and when Aegeus reconised the sword and the sandals he knew that it was his son so he knocked the drink from Theseus hand they reunited and Medea fled to Asia.It was published in 250.
Theseus didn't have any sisters or brothers.
Medea was Aegeus' second wife, and she bore him a son named Medus. Medus was the heir-apparent to the throne prior to the re-emergence of Theseus. Medea immediately recognized Theseus and set to him the task of capturing the Marathonian Bull (previously the Cretan Bull - sire of the Minotaur by Pasiphae). She assumed the task would kill him, but instead, Theseus brought the bull back to be sacrificed. Fearing that Aegeus would make Theseus his heir rather than her own son, she attempted to poison him. But before Theseus could drink the poison, Aegeus recognized his own sandals and sword, hidden so many years before. Recognizing his son, he slapped the poison out of his hand and embraced him. Medea then fled Athens back to her homeland in Colchis, son in tow.
