{"product_id":"medea-9780226203454","title":"Medea","description":"In the centuries since it was first performed, Euripides's \u003ci\u003eMedea\u003c\/i\u003e has established itself as one of the most influential of the Greek tragedies. The story of the wronged wife who seeks revenge against her unfaithful husband by murdering their children is lodged securely in the popular imagination, a touchstone for politics, law, and psychoanalysis and the subject of constant retellings and reinterpretations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This new translation of \u003ci\u003eMedea\u003c\/i\u003e by classicist Oliver Taplin, originally published as part of the acclaimed third edition of Chicago's Complete Greek Tragedies, brilliantly replicates the musicality and strength of Euripides's verse while retaining the play's dramatic and emotional impact. Taplin has created an edition of \u003ci\u003eMedea\u003c\/i\u003e that is particularly suited to performance, while not losing any of the power it has long held as an object of reading or study. This edition is poised to become the new standard, and to introduce a new generation of readers to the heights and depths of Greek tragedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOliver Taplin\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus of classics at the University of Oxford.
