A barbarian woman brought to Corinth and there abandoned by her Greek husband, Medea seeks vengeance on Jason, and is willing to strike out against his new wife and family--even slaughtering the sons she has born him. From the very beginning of the play we are drawn into a world "torn asunder by blind, disruptive forces, which affords no consolation, no compassion for suffering." At its center is Medea herself, a character who refuses definition: is she a hero, a witch, a psychopath, a goddess? All that can be said for certain is that she is a woman who has loved, has suffered, and will stop at nothing for vengeance. In this stunning translation, poet Charles Martin captures the rhythms of Euripides's original text through contemporary rhyme and meter that speaks directly to modern readers. An introduction by classicist and poet A.E. Stallings examines the complex and multifaceted Medea in patriarchal ancient Greece. Perfect in and out of the classroom as well as for theatrical performance, this faithful translation succeeds like no other"--Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Medea, $c consort of Aegeus, King of Athens (Mythological character) $v Drama. 650 0 $a Infanticide $v Drama. 655 7 $a Drama. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Martin, Charles, $d 1942- $e translator. 700 1 $a Stallings, A.
