History is made by women, just as much as men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedea has been betrayed. Her husband, Jason, has left her for a younger woman. He has forgotten all the promises he made and is even prepared to abandon their two sons. But Medea is not a woman to accept such disrespect passively. Strong-willed and fiercely intelligent, she turns her formidable energies to working out the greatest, and most horrifying, revenge possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEuripides' devastating tragedy is shockingly modern in the sharp psychological exploration of the characters and the gripping interactions between them. Award-winning poet Robin Robertson has captured both the vitality of Euripides' drama and the beauty of his phrasing, reinvigorating this masterpiece for the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126095462640,"sku":"9781408185148","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781408185148_p0.jpg?v=1763718216","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781408185148","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
