Medea Journal 2

Jason and Medea's interactions with the gods are quite different. Jason, on one hand, wishes for the gods to help him out through life, but is rather distant, while still having controll over his life. Medea, on the other hand, seems to be more connected to the gods and asks them for favors instead of praying to them.

Jason:
-"... It was Aphrodite and no one else in heaven or earth who saved me on my voyage"(527), shows how Jason expects the gods to help him and have complete control over his life.
-"Zues, do you hear how I'm at bay, Dismissed by this ogress, odious woman." (1405-1406), Jason looks up to the gods for help after being betrayed by her. He automatically assumes that Zeus will help him out because of how Medea has been acting.

Medea:
-"Zeus the Father knows exactly what you got from me and how you then behaved."(1352-1353), shows how she personally knows the gods and that Zeus, who is the primary ruler of the gods, knows how Jason has betrayed her.
-"This chariot, the Sun-my father's father- gave me"(1322-1323), shows how the gods have granted her favors and uses the word "father" to show how close Medea and the gods truly are.
