THE ACCLAIMED TRANSLATION BY ROBIN ROBERTSON (FORWARD PRIZE, MAN
BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLIST 2018) Euripides' Medea, the brutally
powerful ancient Greek tragedy that reverberates down the
centuries, has been brought to fresh and urgent life by one of our
best modern poets. Medea has been betrayed. Her husband Jason has
left her for a younger woman. He has forgotten all the promises he
made and is even prepared to abandon their two sons. But Medea is
not a woman to accept such disrespect passively. Strong-willed and
fiercely intelligent, she turns her formidable energies to working
out the greatest, and most horrifying, revenge possible... Suitable
for the general reader as well as for students and performers. 'In
Robertson's lucid, free-running verse, Medea's power is released
into the world, fresh and appalling, in words that seem spoken for
the first time' Anne Enright 'This version of Medea is vivid,
strong, readable and brings triumphantly into modern focus the
tragic sensibility of the ancient Greeks' John Banville
'Robertson's achievement is to make the dialogue flow without
losing the unsettling poetry of the original' Financial Times
