After returning from Colchis with the Golden Fleece, Jason seduces King Aeetes daughter, Medea, and marries her. However, when they arrive in Corinth and he abandons her for King Creons daughter, Medea plots one of the most terrible revenge stories in literature. According to the authors contemporaries, Euripides preferred to present "things as they are and not as they should be," and perhaps that is what continues to attract us to this work: its raw reality, its portrayal of passions, and its bold commitment to bloodshed. This version, written in free verse, is especially suitable for the stage and is accompanied by a panoramic introduction. This edition concludes with a modern analysis of Medea as an archetype in literature and film. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Beware of her: her frown is wild and her nature abominable.”
After returning from Colchis with the Golden Fleece, Jason seduces King Aeëtes’ daughter, Medea, and marries her. However, when they arrive in Corinth and he abandons her for King Creon’s daughter, Medea plots one of the most terrible revenge stories in literature. According to the author’s contemporaries, Euripides preferred to present "things as they are and not as they should be," and perhaps that is what continues to attract us to this work: its raw reality, its portrayal of passions, and its bold commitment to bloodshed.
This version, written in free verse, is especially suitable for the stage and is accompanied by a panoramic introduction. This edition concludes with a modern analysis of Medea as an archetype in literature and film.
