This book contains "Medea", an ancient Greek tragedy written by Euripides. It is based on the legend of Jason and Medea and was first produced in 431 BCE. The plot follows the deeds and misdeeds of Medea, Jason's barbarian wife. When her position in the Greek world becomes uncertain after Jason deserts her for a Greek princess of Corinth, Medea murders Jason's new wife along with her own children and endeavors to start a new life in Athens. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in Greek mythology. Many vintage books such as this were becoming increasingly rare and expensive. This volume is now republished in an available, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction
