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