Medea

The Oera Linda book (Fries)

1Medemi lacus, Lake of Medea’s laughter.

Wiliam R. Sandbach

The Oera Linda Book

When the sailors were in the creek, there was a wag from Stavoren among them, who said, Medea may well laugh if we rescue her from her citadel.

Upon this, the maidens gave to the creek the name Medea mêilakkia (Lake of Medea).

When they make a statue of a dead person they believe that the spirit of the departed enters into it; therefore they have hidden their statues of Frya, Fâsta, Medea, Thiania, Hellenia, and many others.

Greek Myths

The Argonauts and Mount Pelion

Jason's success was due in large part to the help of Medea, the daughter of King Aeëtes, who had fallen in love with him.

Medea was a powerful sorceress and provided Jason with a magical ointment to protect him from the bulls' fire and a potion to lull the dragon to sleep.

Medea then used her sorcery to trick Pelias' daughters into killing their father, believing they were making him young again.

Jason did not take the throne of Iolcus; instead, he and Medea fled to Corinth, where their story would take a darker turn, ultimately leading to Jason's tragic end.
