Giving access to the latest critical thinking on the subject,
Medea is a comprehensive guide to sources that paints a vivid
portrait of the Greek sorceress Medea, famed in myth for the murder
of her children after she is banished from her own home and
replaced by a new wife. Emma Griffiths brings into focus previously
unexplored themes of the Medea myth, and provides an incisive
introduction to the story and its history.
Studying Medea 's everywoman status one that has caused many
intricacies of her tale to be overlooked Griffiths places the story
in ancient and modern context and reveals fascinating insights into
ancient Greece and its ideology, the importance of life, the role
of women and the position of the outsider.
In clear, user-friendly terms, the book situates the myth within
analytical frameworks such as psychoanalysis, and Griffiths
highlights Medea 's position in current classical study as well as
her lasting appeal.
