=== Modern references === In his book ''[[The Happiness Hypothesis]]'', social psychologist [[Jonathan Haidt]] quotes Medea talking about her struggle between her love to Jason and obligation to her father, as an example for the "divided Self" and the conflict between [[Id (psychology)|id]] and [[superego]]: "I am dragged along by a strange new force. Desire and reason are pulling in different directions. I see the right way and approve it, but follow the wrong."<ref>{{Cite book |last=Haidt |first=Jonathan |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61211244 |title=The happiness hypothesis : finding modern truth in ancient wisdom |date=2006 |isbn=0-465-02802-0 |location=New York |oclc=61211244}}</ref>
