Euripides (480-406 BC)
Translated by
Gilbert Murray (1866-1957)
Euripides' tragedy focuses on the disintegration of the relationship between
Jason, the hero who captured the
Golden Fleece, and Medea, the sorceress who returned with him to
Corinth and had two sons with him. As the play opens, Jason plans to marry the daughter of
King Creon, and the lovesick Medea plots how to take her revenge. (Summary by
