Medea: In the name of love?

Medea, the wife of Jason, as we learn from the myth, was a sorceress. She used her powers for good when she made Jason's father older, but what about her evil actions. According to the myth, as the Argonauts were leaving the kingdom of the Colchis, Medea took her brother and murdered him. She left his bones behind, and when her chasing father saw his murdered son, he stopped his vessels and the Greeks got away. She was also very evil when she killed Jason's uncle, Pelias when his daughters wanted her to make him younger as well. Yes, these actions are atrocious, but I belive Medea commited these murders for love. Would she have killed her own brother had she not been forced to stall her pursuing father? Would she have killed Pelias if he hadn't refused Jason the throne in the first place? Obviously she could've found other ways to escape and get her revenge, but when an occasion arises, you never know what you'll do.
