A searingly cruel story of a womans brutal revenge on a husband who has rejected her for a younger and richer bride, it is unusual among Greek dramas for its acute portrayal of female psychology. <em>Medea</em> can appear at once timeless and strikingly modern. Yet, the play is very much a product of the political and social world of fifth century Athens and an understanding of its original context, as well as a consideration of the responses of later ages, is crucial to appreciating this work and its legacy. This collection of essays by leading academics addresses these issues, exploring key themes such as revenge, character, mythology, the end of the play, the chorus and Medeas role as a witch. Other essays look at the plays context, religious connotations, stagecraft and reception. The essays are accompanied by David Stuttards English translation of the play, which is performer-friendly, accessible yet accurate and closely faithful to the original.</p>...2437197Looking at Medea579644https://www.gandhi.com.mx/looking-at-medea-9781472530165/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2115044/255a9527-29e4-4e0d-b8fd-53ee8622407f.jpg?v=638383529851900000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20149781472530165_W3siaWQiOiIyZmQyMDkzZi0wZWYxLTQ4NjItYjYzNi01ZjJlZDBjZmRlMjYiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjY0NCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjY1LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjU3OSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781472530165_<p>Euripides <em>Medea</em> is one of the most often read, studied and performed of all Greek tragedies.
