"The relief is probably one of the sculptures purchased by Guglielmo Gonzaga in the 1570s. The work depicts the dramatic death of Creusa, who was Jason's young wife and Medea's rival. Wrought with passion following Jason's rebuttal, Medea gives Creusa a diadem and a dress which, when worn, burn the flesh. The episode is preceded, on the left; by the scene of Creusa and Jason in their nuptial chamber and followed, to the right, by Medea plotting to kill her own children, and her escape with their corpses on a cart pulled by snakes."
