«Medea» is the Greek tragedy by Euripides, published by Clásicas del Orto in paperback (64 pages, in Spanish).
Medea, wife of Jason, is abandoned by him when he intends to marry a younger bride. The play shows the revenge she undertakes and the unusualness of her character in the theater of the time. The premiere of Medea in 431 BC coincides with the beginning of the Peloponnesian War.

Recommended for students of classical literature and theater, and for readers interested in Greek mythology.
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.
