As to the curious preternatural ending of a play so consistently natural—Medea's appearing in a chariot drawn by dragons—it seems to me that Euripides is saying: "Yes, you are right to be disconcerted by the fantasy of a dragon-chariot to whisk Medea away to safety. This woman needs no divine help, only human."
