Download or read book Medea by Euripides The Ancient Greek Tragedy written by Augusta Webster and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charged with female agency, Medea is a powerful story of betrayal, desperation, and horrifying revenge. The classic Greek tragedy is brought to life in this lyrical translation by Augusta Webster. Medea has lived in the shadows her entire life, but when her husband, Jason, commits the ultimate act of betrayal and leaves her for another woman, she refuses to be quietly side-lined. Consumed by sorrow and rage, Medea devises a chilling and urgent plan for revenge, targeting the only thing she knows Jason loves: their children. Originally written by Euripides, one of the greatest Greek tragedians, this edition of Medea is re-imagined by Augusta Webster, the first woman to translate the resonant drama. Now known as a compelling feminist text, this 1868 translation revives the Ancient Greek play through a feminine lens. Featuring an insightful introduction from Gilbert Murray's 1912 translation, alongside Augusta Webster's poignant poem, 'Medea in Athens', this new edition of Medea explores the divine feminine, delving into themes of power, vengeance, and the complexities of love.
Download or read book Euripides Medea written by and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Euripides' Medea comes alive in this new translation that will be useful for both academic study and stage production. Diane J. Rayor's accurate yet accessible translation reflects the play's inherent theatricality and vibrant poetry. The book includes an analytical introduction and comprehensive notes, and an essay on directing Medea by stage director Karen Libman. The play begins after Medea, a princess in her own land, has sacrificed everything for Jason: she helped him in his quest for the Golden Fleece, eloped with him to Greece, and bore him sons. When Jason breaks his oath to her and betrays her by marrying the king's daughter - his ticket to the throne - Medea contemplates the ultimate retribution. What happens when words deceive and those you trust most do not mean what they say? Euripides' most enduring Greek tragedy is a fascinating and disturbing story of how far a woman will go to take revenge in a man's world.

Download or read book Dramatic Suspense in Euripides and Seneca s Medea written by Stephen Ohlander and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1989 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an investigation of suspense in two highly influential Medea plays, presents a complete re-reading of these plays, and offers a comparative study of the dramas, particularly with regard to their capacity to evoke suspense in the authors' audience. The principal focus, however, is Euripides' «Medea» in which the playwright manipulates audience reaction by his original handling of the source material - in all probability his audience would have expected the Korinthians to kill her children, or, at most, were unsure who would do it or why.
Download or read book The Poetics of Aristotle written by Aristotle and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term which in Greek literally means "making" and in this context includes drama - comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play - as well as lyric poetry and epic poetry). They are similar in the fact that they are all imitations but different in the three ways that Aristotle describes: 1. Differences in music rhythm, harmony, meter and melody. 2. Difference of goodness in the characters. 3. Difference in how the narrative is presented: telling a story or acting it out. In examining its "first principles," Aristotle finds two: 1) imitation and 2) genres and other concepts by which that of truth is applied/revealed in the poesis. His analysis of tragedy constitutes the core of the discussion. Although Aristotle's Poetics is universally acknowledged in the Western critical tradition, "almost every detail about his seminal work has aroused divergent opinions."

Download or read book Medea written by Euripides and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-08-10 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek Tragedy in New Translations series is based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves, or who work in collaboration with poets, can properly re-create the celebrated and timeless tragedies of the great Greek writers. These new translations are more than faithful to the original text, going beyond the literal meaning in order to evoke the poetic intensity and rich metaphorical texture of the Greek language. Euripides was one of the most popular and controversial of all the Greek tragedians, and his plays are marked by an independence of thought, ingenious dramatic devices, and a subtle variety of register and mood. Medea, is a story of betrayal and vengeance. Medea, incensed that her husband Jason would leave her for another after the many sacrifices she has made for him, murders both his new bride and their own children in revenge. It is an excellent example of the prominence and complexity that Euripides gave to female characters. This new translation does full justice to the lyricism of Euripides original work, while a new introduction provides a guide to the play, complete with interesting details about the traditions and social issues that influenced Euripides's world.
