Medea by Euripides

Medea book by Euripides

Medea by Euripides is one of ancient Greece's most enduring tragedies, centred on a woman betrayed by her husband and driven toward a devastating act of revenge. After Jason abandons Medea to marry another woman, she is left facing betrayal, exile, and the loss of the life she believed she had built.

Through Medea's story, Euripides explores love, betrayal, anger, power, exile, gender, and revenge. The play presents a complex character whose intelligence and determination challenge the expectations placed on women in ancient Greek society. More than two thousand years after it was first performed, Medea continues to raise difficult questions about justice, loyalty, and the consequences of unchecked anger.
