Corinth

Tragedy comes close to home in Medea by Euripides, Creon. The King of Corinth, Creon banishes Medea from the city. But one of the most significant character who is not mention much is Glauce, she is the daughter of Creon, and it is because of her that Jason abandons Medea. Her acceptance of the poisoned coronet and dress as "gifts" leads to the first murder of the play. Although she never utters a word, Glauce's presence is constantly felt as an object of Medea's jealousy. (Glauce is also referred to as Creusa.)
