Medea (in greco antico: Μήδεια, Mḕdeia) è una figura della mitologia greca, figlia di Eete, re della Colchide, e di Idia. Nelle Argonautiche di Apollonio Rodio era indicata come nipote di Elio e della maga Circe; al pari di quest'ultima era dotata di poteri magici.Invece secondo la variazione del mito proposta da Diodoro Siculo, il Sole, Elio, ebbe due figli, Perse e Eeta. Perse ebbe una figlia, Ecate, potentissima maga, che lo uccise e più tardi si congiunse con lo zio Eeta. Da questa unione sarebbero nati Medea ed Egialeo (o Apsirto).
