Euripides\' Medea comes alive in this new Translation that will be useful for both academic study and stage production.
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..
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.
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.
The book includes an essay by director Karen Libman.
She provides an analytical introduction and comprehensive notes.
Rayor\'s accurate yet accessible Translation reflects the play\'s inherent theatricality and vibrant poetry.
