Medea

Dramatic and Theatrical Works

An Ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides, first performed in 431 BCE, dramatizing the sorceress Medea's revenge against her husband Jason after he abandons her for another marriage. Its unflinching portrait of a wronged woman's rage has kept it in continuous performance and adaptation into the present day.
