DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume offers a critical yet empathic exploration of the ancient myth of Medea as immortalized by early Greek and Roman dramatists to showcase the tragic forces afoot when relational suffering remains unresolved in the lives of individuals, families and communities. Medea as a tragic figure, whose sense of isolation and betrayal interferes with her ability to form healthy attachments, reveals the human propensity for violence when the agony of unresolved grief turns to vengeance against those we hold most dear. However, metaphorically, her life story as an emblem for existential crisis serves as a psychological touchstone in the lives of early twentieth-century female authors, who struggled to find their rightful place in the world, to resolve the sorrow of unrequited love and devotion, and to reconcile experiences of societal abandonment and neglect as self-discovery.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom 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. 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKVictorious in the battle of his life, but set up by the king to be slaughtered with his Argonauts rather than be rewarded as promised, Jason was brave enough to attempt to steal the Golden Fleece against all odds. His people desperately needed its favor and wondrous bounty. But without Medea's help, Jason had no mere mortal hope of getting the Fleece and bringing it home. Medea would have to betray her family and her own people to save the golden giant among men who she came to love. Together they would face the wrath of her father and his army, and take on the gods. But, to what personal end? This Medea is unlike the Medea who most of us have come to know, the dark murderess of Euripides, of Classical Greece (500-400 BC), when the religion of the Sky God Zeus had taken over. Cargill's Jason & Medea is set in Mycenean Greece (about 1250 BC), a time when God was a She. Medea follows her goddess Hecate. This is not the typical male interpretation of history or myth. Based on the Argonautica or The Voyage of the Argo of Apollonius of Rhodes, Cargill's Medea isn't just a witch; rather she is a human being who loves and hurts just as we do. For her love, she has betrayed her family, has set out for an uncertain future in an unknown land, and must somehow reconcile her love for a man with her love of her homeland. From Medea's point of view and intelligence, the reader sees the world of ancient Greece, experiences her anguish, motivations, and aspirations. She is believable, as are the novel's other characters Jason & Medea showcases the combination of Linda Cargill's love of the classics and literature and her talent to fine-tune an action-packed spirited page-turner. Her lyrical languagecomes from her trained ear from reading the ancients. Her story telling craft has been honed in more than twenty young adult horror and suspense novels, one of which, The Surfer, has sold more than 200,000 copies worldwide. To Follow The Goddess, and adult novel about the Trojan War from the point of view of Helen, was Linda's first historical novel. Linda is a member of Mystery Writers of America. She lives in Tucson, Arizona with her family, which includes three cats.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMedea is among the most notorious women in the canon of Greek tragedy: a woman scorned who sacrifices her own children to her jealous rage. In her gripping new novel, Christa Wolf expands this myth, revealing a fiercely independent woman ensnared in a brutal political battle. Medea, driven by her conscience to leave her corrupt homeland, arrives in Corinth with her husband, the hero Jason. He is welcomed, but she is branded the outsider—and then she discovers the appalling secret behind the king's claim to power. Unwilling to ignore the horrifying truth about the state, she becomes a threat to the king and his ruthless advisors. Then abandoned by Jason and made a public scapegoat, she is reviled as a witch and a murderess. Long a sharp-eyed political observer, Christa Wolf transforms this ancient tale into a startlingly relevant commentary on our times. Possessed of the enduring truths so treasured in the classics, and yet with a thoroughly contemporary spin, her Medea is a stunningly perceptive and probingly honest work of fiction.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA student edition of this challenging and popular tragedy with notes and commentary. The most controversial of the Greek tragedians, Euripedes is also the most modern in his sympathies, a dramatist who handles the complex emotions of his characters with extraordinary depth and insight. Wronged and discarded by her husband, Medea gradually reveals her revenge in its increasing horror, while the audience is led to understand the incomprehensible; a woman who murders her own children. Since its first production (431 BC), the play has exerted an irresistible attraction for actors and directors alike. Translated by J.Michael Walton.
