«Medea» is the Greek tragedy by Euripides, published by La Magrana in paperback (104 pages, in Catalan).
Medea, abandoned by her husband when he decides to marry the daughter of the king of Corinth, feels humiliated and takes an extreme decision. Euripides turns the myth into a psychological drama that shows the emotions of a betrayed woman and her claim for equality against men.
Volume 5 of the Clàssics Grècia i Ro collection, with introduction, translation and notes by Àngela Carramiñana.
For literature students and readers interested in classical theatre and in the reinterpretation of the Greek myth from a gender perspective.
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.
