Medea planning the murder of her children depicted in the Roman fresco from the House of Jason (Casa di Giasone) in Pompeii (20-25 AD), now on display in the National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli) in Naples, Campania, Italy. Medea is depicted sitting, with a sword on her left, and looking anxiously at her children who are playing, unaware of the fate that awaits them, so much so that the child who has won the game runs towards her waving a branch of victory.
