Medea interatcions with the gods place her on a similar level with the gods and she is more on a freind based relationship that the gods help her out when they can. With Jason his interaction with the gods are more distant yet he still expects the god to be playing a role in everything.
Jason
"... It was Aphrodite and no oen else in heaven or earth who saved me on my voyage"(50;527) ---Jason has this relience that the gods are in charge of everything and everything happened because of Aphrodite on the trip to get the golden fleece.
"Zeus, do you hear how I'm at bay,..."(77;1405)-- Jason calls on Zeus and expects him to do something and just begs him to do something to punish Medea.
Medea
"... now these treasures which were handed down by my father's father- the glorious Sun"(62;954-955).--Medea establish a personal relationship with the god through her linage and the conection she has to the gods.
"This chariot, the Sun-my father's father- gave me"(74;1322-1323).--Same relationship as the quote previous.
"Zeus the Father know exactly whtat you got from me..."(75;1352). Creates a personal relationship with another god by using father in describing Zeus and by say Zeus know creates this idea that she has a close relationship with the gods.
"O Zeus, wht made you give us clear signs for telling..."(49;5160). Medea again express the idea that she has a close relationship with teh gods and that Zeus is revealing things to her.
