Medea is a city located in Algeria. It serves as a geographical location within the country's territory.
While the name Medea is also associated with Greek mythology, that figure is distinct from the Algerian city. In mythology, Medea is identified as the daughter of King Aeëtes of Colchis and is frequently depicted as a sorceress, an accomplished pharmakís, and a high priestess of the goddess Hecate.
