When Jason breaks his oath to her and betrays her by marrying the king's daughter - his ticket to the throne - Medea contemplates the ultimate retribution. The play begins after Medea, a princess in her own land, has sacrificed everything for Jason: she helped him in his quest for the Golden Fleece, eloped with him to Greece, and bore him sons. The book includes an analytical introduction and comprehensive notes, and an essay on directing Medea by stage director Karen Libman. Rayor's accurate yet accessible translation reflects the play's inherent theatricality and vibrant poetry.
