«Medea» is the Greek tragedy by Euripides, published by Ediciones Vosa in paperback (114 pages, in Spanish).
The tragedy centres on Medea, a woman who, after feeling betrayed by her husband Jason, plans a revenge that leads her to defy all the conventions of her time. Euripides explores love, betrayal and unbridled passion, and turns his protagonist into one of the most complex characters in Greek literature.
Edition published in 1992, with version and introduction by Ramón Irigoyen; belongs to the Teatro collection of Ediciones Vosa.
Intended for students of literature and classical theatre, as well as for readers interested in Greek tragedy.
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.
