Medea

Medea, a former princess of Colchis, and the wife of Jason, finds her position in the Greek world threatened when her husband attempts to leave her for a Greek princess of Corinth. In this classic translation of Seneca’s Medea, Ella Harris retains the powerful effects of the monologues, as well as the unique flavor of Seneca's language.
