Euripides: Journal 2

Thesis: Medea speaks of the Gods in personal setting, speaking to them, while Jason speaks of the gods and not directly to them.

Evidence:
Medea-O, mighty Themis, and Artemis, Queen, for all the fine vows I bound him with
-Artemis is the guardian of women, Themis is justice, she is complaining to them about Jason, looking for sympathy from the Gods
O Zeus, remember the author of this crime
-Medea speaks to Zeus as if he should take pity on her
O Zeus, what made you give us clear signs for telling mere glitter for true gold
-Medea is asking for answers from Zeus, almost like she has a personal relationship with him

Jason-Well as far as im concerned, it was Aphrodite and no on else in heaven or earth who saved me on my voyage
-Jason is speaking OF Aphrodite not TO her, using her as part of his argument, no clear evidence that Aphrodite saved him, shows that he doesnt have true faith in the gods
