Medea Performs at the Temple of Hecate: The scene where Medea performs in the Temple of Hecate comes closest to the Cheops Books LLC mythological novel, Medea’s Escape. Medea in the movie Jason and the Argonauts announces to Jason that she is a priestess in the Temple of Hecate, the Goddess of the Colchians. Jason rescues her from a shipwreck and takes her back to Colchis. That is followed by a ceremonial dance with Medea and her maidens inside the temple. We have purple costumes and giant statues of gods and goddesses. The scene at the Temple of Hecate ends with a banquet where Jason meets King Aeetes, the father of Medea, who immediately turns against him.
This scene introduces the Mother Goddess religion, which is the theme of the Cheops Books novel Medea’s Escape. It is the reason why Medea is often called a witch. But it is also the original prehistoric religion which was practiced everywhere in the world. It is the theme not only of Medea’s Escape but also of To Follow the Goddess, the first novel that Cheops Books ever published. It recounts the Trojan War from the point of view of Helen. That novel is also for sale on Kindle.
Today is the last day of the Kindle Countdown Deal for the young adult mythological thriller, Medea’s Escape.
