Medea is based on the myth of Jason and Medea and was first produced in 431 BC. The play centers on Medea’s murder of her two sons as an act of revenge on her husband Jason and has generated many original interpretations that include feminist, psychoanalytic, political readings. We will read the Chicago edition translated by Richmond Lattimore. Show more
