More about the book
The play centers on Medea, who seeks vengeance against her unfaithful husband, Jason, after he abandons her for another woman. Set in Corinth, Medea's rage intensifies as she confronts Jason's plans to marry Glauce, the daughter of the king. Her pursuit of revenge culminates in the shocking act of murdering her own children, a choice that challenged contemporary audience expectations. Despite its initial controversy, this tragedy has gained recognition as a significant work of classical antiquity, accompanied by an introduction and annotations by Gilbert Murray in this edition.
