Euripides' Medea comes alive in this new translation that will be
useful for both academic study and stage production. Diane J.
Rayor's accurate yet accessible translation reflects the play's
inherent theatricality and vibrant poetry. The book includes an
analytical introduction and comprehensive notes, and an essay on
directing Medea by stage director Karen Libman. The play begins
after Medea, a princess in her own land, has sacrificed everything
for Jason: she helped him in his quest for the Golden Fleece,
eloped with him to Greece, and bore him sons. When Jason breaks his
oath to her and betrays her by marrying the king's daughter - his
ticket to the throne - Medea contemplates the ultimate retribution.
What happens when words deceive and those you trust most do not
mean what they say? Euripides' most enduring Greek tragedy is a
fascinating and disturbing story of how far a woman will go to take
revenge in a man's world.
