The story of Medea is only one part of a myth about the Argonauts' campaign. It portrays Jason joining a battle with fire-breathing bulls and a dragon guarding the Golden Fleece; Medea is helping him tame the beasts. She then follows him to Greece, because she falls in love. It is also a story of how a once young, beautiful and joyful woman transforms into a monster, hungry for revenge; she kills even her own children. A long trail of horrible deaths, tied to her life path, is hard to imagine.

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. Ein weltberühmter Stoff – Medeas Geschichte wird bis heute auf den Bühnen der Welt gespielt und diskutiert.

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. Hippolytus, bastard son of Theseus and the Amazon Hippolyta, has sworn chaste allegiance to the goddess Artemis, thus severely offending the goddess Aphrodite by failing to revere her. Aphrodite swears revenge and promises that he will die before the day is done, taking with him Queen Phaedra, wife of Theseus.
