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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTranslated by JOHN DAVIE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45637338038451,"sku":"9780140449297","price":399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/91VHA--GiKL.jpg?v=1783076270","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/medea-and-other-plays","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
