- Synopsis
- A student edition of this challenging and popular tragedy with notes and commentary. The most controversial of the Greek tragedians, Euripedes is alsothe most modern in his sympathies, a dramatist who handles the complexemotions of his characters with extraordinary depth and insight. Wronged and discarded by her husband, Medea gradually revealsher revenge in its increasing horror, while the audience is led tounderstand the incomprehensible; a woman who murders her own children.Since its first production (431 BC), the play has exerted anirresistible attraction for actors and directors alike. Translated by J.Michael Walton.
