Maria Callas (1923-1977) Callas made a film called 'Medea' in 1969. The film tells the story of how Medea meets Jason, gains his love and helps him obtain the golden fleece. The film continues by showing how Jason abandons Medea and how Medea takes revenge. Callas also played Medea in the opera version of the play. Callas said, "The dominant feelings of the role are jealousy, hate and vengenance." Callas first sang this role in 1953 at the Florence May Festival. Maria Callas is also known as the first diva.
