Wikipedia Attack!!
Medea (Greek: Μήδεια, Mēdeia) is a woman in Greek mythology who was the daughter of King Aeëtes of Colchis, niece of Circe, granddaughter of the sun Helios, and later wife to the hero Jason. In Euripides' play Medea, Jason leaves Medea when Creon, king of Corinth, offers him his daughter, Creusa or Glauce.

Medea figures in the myth of Jason and the Argonauts, a myth known best from a late literary version worked up by Apollonius of Rhodes in the 3rd century B.C. and called the Argonautica. But for all its self-consciousness and researched archaic vocabulary, the late epic was based on very old, scattered materials.

Medea is known in most stories as an enchantress and is often depicted as being a priestess of the goddess Hecate or a witch. The myth of Jason and Medea is very old, originally written around the time Hesiod wrote the Theogony. It was discussed briefly in the work Little Illiad from the 6th century B.C.

"Man, why you go around drawing ME as a lilly white woman? I'm BLACK, damnit! Ain't nobody whitewashing this ebony goddess! Genzoman, boy, I should whoop yo ass into next week! And what's this stuff about me being Greek? I'm from Harlem, damnit! You better not come to me for advice, cause all you gonna get is a smacked forehead!

Tough I do appreciate you drawing me younger than what I really am. But still, blonde and white? What the hell?"
