Summary
An ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides, Medea is based on the myth of Jason and Medea and was first published in 431 BC. Main character Medea plots her revenge on her husband, Jason, after he has been unfaithful with another woman. After epic battles and strange adventures, the play ends with Medea taking the bodies of her slain children away from Jason, so that he may never hold his children again. Widely studied around the world, the play is considered a feminist text as it explores the disadvantages of being a woman in societies like those of ancient Greece
