"Paul Roche", Duncan Grant, ca. 1953.
I love reading Ancient Greek plays
Paul Roche (right) and Duncan Grant, with whom he had a 32-year relationship, in Turkey
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."
