In the medieval mythology of Nath yogis, the wandering hermits of India, there is the story of how Goraksha-nath uses his yogic powers to kill and bring back to life the son of his guru Matsyendra-nath by the Amazon queen Pramila. He does this to prove that life and death are delusions and to liberate his guru from the sexual snare of his wife.

In Hesiod’s Theogony, the marriage of Jason and Medea is listed as one of the marriages between mortals and immortals, suggesting that Medea is divine.

Medea is often linked to Hecate, the goddess of magic.

Medea embodies a woman who is both powerful and frightening. She is representative of the exotic Eastern woman for the Greeks who preferred their women more submissive.
