Jason seems to expect the gods to always help him. However, he also mentions their help in his life. He says that Aphrodite saved him in his voyage. This means he is willing to put his whole life in debt to one goddess. This also symbolizes how he fell in love with Medea, because Aphrodite is often associated with love and beauty.
Medea speaks to the gods on a personal level. She is the granddaughter of Helios, which establishes her relationship with the gods. She speaks to Zeus as a "friend", and talks as if they are on her side. Although she does very morally questionable things.
