Euripides' Medea is one of the greatest and most influential Greek tragedies. This book outlines the development of the Medea myth before Euripides and explores his uniquely powerful version from various angles.

Particular attention is paid to the tragic effect of Medea's great monologue and the significance of her role as a divine avenger.
