Medea’s Flight
2022
In Greek mythology, a witch's powers were learned, rooted in an extensive knowledge of herbs, plants, and the natural world. Medea, one of the most powerful witches, gathered her ingredients from distant forests, mountains, and islands, according to a detailed account of her journey found in book 10 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Just like Medea explored the ancient Mediterranean and collected her herbs, this booklet is a collection of stories from Ovid’s Metamorphoses involving herbs and plants, a collection of ancient and modern forms of information, and an exploration through these stories of the power of nature.
