Jason, in exile in Corinth, is marrying the king's daughter. It
looks as though his problems are over, though it's hard on Medea,
who has betrayed her family for him, followed him all the way from
Colchis, killed for him, and borne him two sons. Euripides' Medea
is a compelling study of love turned to hatred and a rejected
woman's burning desire for revenge. Its central, shocking, act of
infanticide comes as the climax of a psychological thriller in
which Euripides' dramaturgical skills are shown at their finest and
the audience's emotions are ruthlessly manipulated. Medea's
conflicting urges and her dazzling rhetoric have exercised an
enduring fascination over audiences and readers since the play was
first performed in 431 BC. This edition examines a wide range of
aspects of the play, including text, performance, interpretation,
Euripides' sources, other lost plays about Medea and Euripides'
portrayal of character and gender. Greek text with facing-page
translation, introduction and commentary.
