Mit "Medea" schuf Euripides eines der eindrucksvollsten Dramen der griechischen Antike. Im Mittelpunkt steht Medea, die von ihrem Mann Jason für eine andere verlassen wird – und deren Reaktion in eine der radikalsten Taten der Tragödienliteratur mündet. Die Tragödie thematisiert Liebe, Rache, Machtlosigkeit und die Stellung der Frau – und zeigt, wie Schmerz, Stolz und Ausgrenzung einen Menschen zu tragischen Entscheidungen bewegen können.

Euripides (c. 480-406 B.C.E.) is the author of eighteen extant plays and many more only surviving in fragments. He is the youngest of the three great Athenian tragedians with Aeschylus and Sophocles.
