I read this in college, and I gotta say that I love it more even now. I read it with my kids in class and we loved it! Medea's such an awesome character (minus the whole killing her kids part...)

I love Medea, her character is so interesting! Euripides is an awesome playwright and its amazing how his stories have lasted all this time and are still enjoyed today!

CORIFEU
Ousarás mesmo exterminar teus próprios filhos?

MEDEIA
Matando-os, firo mais o coração do pai.

CORIFEU
E tornas-te a mulher mais infeliz de todas.

MEDEIA
Terá de ser assim.

Purtroppo la traduzione che ho letto (Bellotti) è arcaica e molto complicata… ha rovinato la mia lettura
