The Medea (Classic Reprint): Translated Into English Rhyming Verse With Explanatory Notes
Euripides Euripides
Excerpt from The MedeaThe Medea, in spite of its background of wonder and enchantment, is not a romantic play but a tragedy of character and situation. It deals, so to speak, not with the romance itself, but with the end of the romance, a thing which is so terribly often the reverse of romantic. For all but the very highest of romances are apt to have just one ?aw somewhere, and in the story of Jason and Medea the ?aw was of a fatal kind.
