«Medea» is the Greek tragedy by Euripides, published by Ediciones Clásicas, S.A. in paperback (94 pages, in Spanish).
Medea, princess of Colchis, wife of Jason and mother of his children, sees her husband leave her to marry the daughter of King Creon. Humiliated and furious, the protagonist plots a revenge that drags her into tragic territory; the work resonates with wounded love, betrayal, the power of women, and the boundary between civilization and barbarism.
1997 edition with introduction, translation and notes by Alfonso Martínez Díez, translated from the Greek.
For students of classical theater and Greek mythology, and for any reader who wants to discover one of the great tragic myths of Antiquity.
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.
