Stallings (Introduction by), Charles Martin (Translated by)Language: EnglishSubtitle: A New TranslationISBN-10: 0520307402Description: Renowned poet and acclaimed translator Charles Martin faithfully captures Euripides’s dramatic tone and style in this searing tale of revenge and sacrifice.The Medea of Euripides is one of the greatest of all Greek tragedies and arguably the one with the most significance today. A barbarian woman brought to Corinth and there abandoned by her Greek husband, Medea seeks vengeance on Jason and is willing to strike out against his new wife and family—even slaughtering the sons she has born him. At its center is Medea herself, a character who refuses definition: Is she a hero, a witch, a psychopath, a goddess? All that can be said for certain is that she is a woman who has loved, has suffered, and will stop at nothing for vengeance. In this stunning translation, poet Charles Martin captures the rhythms of Euripides’ original text through contemporary rhyme and meter that speak directly to modern readers. An introduction by classicist and poet A.E. Stallings examines the complex and multifaceted Medea in patriarchal ancient Greece. Perfect in and out of the classroom as well as for theatrical performance, this faithful translation succeeds like no other.Country/Region of Manufacture: USTranslator: Charles MartinGenre: HistoryTopic: Ancient History, Poetry & DramaAuthor: EuripidesBook Series: World Literature in TranslationRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
