«Medea» is the classic tragedy by Euripides, published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform in paperback (48 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Corinth, the play shows Medea, princess of Colchis and wife of Jason, after being abandoned by him, who plans to marry the daughter of King Creon. Between pain and rage, Medea plots a revenge that pits her against her entire world. Euripides addresses betrayal, exile, and the female condition in ancient Greece.
This edition was published in 2017. The play premiered in 431 BC as part of a tetralogy with Philoctetes, Dictys, and The Reapers.
Recommended for readers interested in Greek tragedy, classical theatre, and mythology; it is also common reading in school settings.
Euripides was a Greek tragedian of classical Athens. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three authors of Greek tragedy whose name is ascribed to surviving plays. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him, but the Suda says it was ninety-two at most. Nineteen plays attributed to Euripides have survived more or less complete, although one of these (Rhesus) is often considered not to be genuinely his work. Many fragments survive from most of his other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined: he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes, and Menander.
