The Chorus agree with Medea's schemes of revenge. In Euripides' Medea, the Chorus represent the women of Corinth, a city where Medea takes refuge after her separation from her husband Jason. The chorus instigate and amplify Medea's situation and plots. While Medea ponders on how to extract her revenge on Jason, his new wife, and his new father-in-law, she ends her lines with "Women, we are helpless when virtue is demanded, but incomparable architects of crime" (105).
