Medea, in which a spurned woman takes revenge upon her lover by killing her children, is one of the most shocking of all the Greek tragedies. Medea is a towering figure who demonstrates Euripides' unusual willingness to give voice to a woman's case. Alcestis is based on a magical myth in which Death is overcome, and The Children of Heracles examines conflict between might and right, while Hippolytus deals with self-destructive integrity. \nTranslated by JOHN DAVIE","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515218788640,"sku":"9780140449297","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780140449297.jpg?v=1780833596","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/medea-and-other-plays-euripides-9780140449297","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
