"Medea, you are doomed to fail: the force you face must be some deity. I wonder if this power (or something like it) is not the power known to men as love."
"I am aware of what I do; if I'm undone, the cause is surely not my ignorance, but love. You shall be saved; but when that's done, maintain the vow you made."
And if Medea had not soared on high with her winged dragons, she'd have had to pay a bitter price.
The foreshadowing of the arduous, ill-fated life of Medea is nicely placed here by Ovid.
