Describes wine as "luxurious purple liquid" 🤨

The characters keep warping their feelings from one scene to the next. Last chapter ended with Madea being a hermit and going mad due to Jason being away during the day. Start of the next chapter she is dismayed at the thought of leaving the town for another. It just doesn't make sense.

"In the heart of the space was an outdoor courtyard, complete with a fountain fed by one of Korinth's many natural springs and carefully kept herbs."

The fountain is fed by herbs? The grammar is getting worse.

"...the elegant lines of her profile ensnared me immediately". Odd way to describe your newborn baby

Another word repeated twice in a sentence. 'Simply'

I doubt his throat would have enough for a "shower of blood" after being cut 9 times already.

Terrible kiss scene

There's no mention of cleaning out her experiments from her labor anything... won't they be discovered? Then her father will know what she did?

"I recruited Herakles... along with his boy lover, Halas. Orpheus too offered to join..."

Excuse me? I'm all for Hercules being bisexuality, but the mention here feels out of place.

On last note- the author should have used a narrator instead of first person. Medea can't be that all knowing. This adds to the lack of verisimilitude of her character along with her proper and restrained speech and lack of speaking v thinking tones.
