«Medeia» is the Greek tragedy by Euripides, published in 1983 by Editorial Inquérito in paperback (76 pages, in Portuguese).
Euripides dramatises Jason's betrayal of Medea and the revenge she prepares against him. Throughout the tragedy, the protagonist's pain and pride lead her to an extreme decision, and the work becomes an intense portrait of passion and its consequences.
For readers interested in classical theatre and dramatic versions of Greek myths.
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.
