Good. Medea is described as wielding unnatural magic due to her necromancy. Which is true. But she wields another type of dark magic and later becomes a victim of it herself. It’s briefly mentioned that Egyptians view love potions as the only dark magic. Medea uses a love potion against a prince that comes ashore to trick him into marrying her sister. Years on she herself falls victim to Aphrodite’s love magic. Which inevitably led to the tragedy that is her story. Love is discussed in numerous of ways but this one I really enjoyed. Even if it was brief. It was interesting to see what people do for love and the rejection of it.
