Psychopompos - a new mythology opens with a chilling retelling of the myth of MEDEA, the infamous witch of Colchis, and her husband, the Greek hero, Jason of the Argonauts. Narrated by a poet on the brink, the prologue follows the wake of violence and retribution that engulfs MEDEA after she witnesses her husband accept the princess of Corinth’s hand in marriage. Whipped into a frenzy by her HANDMAIDEN, MEDEA threatens her husband, before turning her focus to their sons. Setting into motion the events that made her notorious, MEDEA draws the children a bath and begins the story of Psychopompos - a new mythology.
