Medea Product

The old songs must change. No longer will we chant hymns praising our faithlessness and deceit. Apollo, the god of song and the lord of the lyre, did not bestow upon us the flame of poetry. But if only we possessed that divine voice, imagine the songs we could compose highlighting the flaws of humanity and assigning blame. History is not only shaped by men, but also by women. Medea, a woman, has been betrayed by her husband Jason, who has abandoned her for a younger lover, disregarding all his vows and even willing to forsake their children. Medea, a woman of strength and intelligence, refuses to tolerate such disrespect silently. Instead, she channels her fierce determination into plotting the most dreadful and vengeful act imaginable.

Euripides' powerful tragedy remains strikingly relevant today, delving deep into the psychology of its characters and their intense interactions. Award-winning poet Robin Robertson skillfully captures the essence of Euripides' work, revitalizing this classic for the modern era with his poetic prowess.
