Synopsis

Number two in NHB's Drama Classics Series, providing the world's great drama at a great price.

The introduction to this edition of Medea includes a short biography of Euripides; a guide to what happens in the play; a short history of the play and its origins; and a brief guide to what happens in the play, its characters, language and themes.

Abandoned by her husband, Jason, who hopes to better his station by marrying the daughter of the King of Corinth; Medea exacts a terrible, violent and bloody revenge.

A play of psychologically and physically murderous vengeance, Medea is one of the most powerful and perennially produced of all ancient drama.

À propos de l'auteur

Euripides was one of the three great tragedians of classical Greece (the other two being Aeschylus and Sophocles). Largely due to an accident of history, eighteen of Euripides' ninety-five plays have survived in a complete form, along with fragments (some substantial) of many of his other plays. He is known primarily for having reshaped the formal structure of traditional Greek tragedy by showing strong female characters and intelligent slaves, and by satirizing many heroes of Greek mythology. He is considered to be the most socially critical of all the ancient Greek tragedians, and his plays seem quite modern in comparison with those of his contemporaries.
