From the dawn of European literature, the figure of Medea--best known as the helpmate of Jason and murderer of her own children--has inspired artists in all fields throughout all centuries. Euripides, Seneca, Corneille, Delacroix, Anouilh, Pasolini, Maria Callas, Martha Graham, Samuel Barber, and Diana Rigg are among the many who have given Medea life on stage, film, and canvas, through music and dance, from ancient Greek drama to Broadway. In seeking to understand the powerful hold Medea has had on our imaginations for nearly three millennia, a group of renowned scholars here examines the major representations of Medea in myth, art, and ancient and contemporary literature, as well as the philosophical, psychological, and cultural questions these portrayals raise. The result is a comprehensive and nuanced look at one of the most captivating mythic figures of all time.</p>
Unlike most mythic figures, whose attributes remain constant throughout mythology, Medea is continually changing in the wide variety of stories that circulated during antiquity. She appears as enchantress, helper-maiden, infanticide, fratricide, kidnapper, founder of cities, and foreigner. Not only does Medea's checkered career illuminate the opposing concepts of self and other, it also suggests the disturbing possibility of otherness within self. In addition to the editors, the contributors include Fritz Graf, Nita Krevans, Jan Bremmer, Dolores M. O'Higgins, Deborah Boedeker, Carole E. Newlands, John M. Dillon, Martha C. Nussbaum, Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood, and Marianne McDonald.</p>

烈女子美狄亞！
评分書中沒寫的最後的結局是：Iason（伊阿宋）把他的阿爾戈船獻給瞭海神。有一天他坐在船旁，被一塊船闆打死瞭。而Medea（美狄亞）逃到雅典後同Aegeus（埃勾斯）住在一塊兒，在那因為毒害埃勾斯的兒子被那老頭兒察覺，她又逃到亞洲去。所以呀…神明總是做齣許多料想不到的事情…
评分最後一幕夫妻吵架太怪誕瞭，jason不死身，殺不掉隻能這樣過嘴癮
评分"oh poor medea!"
评分Overwhelming！近三韆年前的劇本居然如此前衛！讀的時候能想象齣在舞颱上上演有多震撼。
