Note 263 — Chapter V · EURIPIDES AND VASE PAINTING

My remark applies only to the extant monuments, for one finds that Pausanias saw the marriage of Jason and Medeia represented on the Kypselos Chest (5. 18. 3). This is in keeping with the Corinthian origin of the Chest. It is hardly to be expected that such domestic events in Medeia’s career would have found their place in any work of art that was not made in Corinth, or at least in a place essentially influenced by Corinthian legend.
