From the dawn of European literature, the figure of Medea--best known as the helpmate of Jason and murderer of her own children--has inspired artists in all fields throughout all centuries. Euripides, Seneca, Corneille, Delacroix, Anouilh, Pasolini, Maria Callas, Martha Graham, Samuel Barber, and Diana Rigg are among the many who have given Medea life on stage, film, and canvas, through music and dance, from ancient Greek drama to Broadway. In seeking to understand the powerful hold Medea has had on our imaginations for nearly three millennia, a group of renowned scholars here examines the major representations of Medea in myth, art, and ancient and contemporary literature, as well as the philosophical, psychological, and cultural questions these portrayals raise. The result is a comprehensive and nuanced look at one of the most captivating mythic figures of all time.</p>
Unlike most mythic figures, whose attributes remain constant throughout mythology, Medea is continually changing in the wide variety of stories that circulated during antiquity. She appears as enchantress, helper-maiden, infanticide, fratricide, kidnapper, founder of cities, and foreigner. Not only does Medea's checkered career illuminate the opposing concepts of self and other, it also suggests the disturbing possibility of otherness within self. In addition to the editors, the contributors include Fritz Graf, Nita Krevans, Jan Bremmer, Dolores M. O'Higgins, Deborah Boedeker, Carole E. Newlands, John M. Dillon, Martha C. Nussbaum, Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood, and Marianne McDonald.</p>

Many things the gods achieve beyond our judgement. What we though is not confirmed and what we thought not God contrived. 诗剧之感

得到听书: 第一,欧里庇德斯不同于前两位悲剧作家,他用怀疑主义的精神思考他的时代,经常在悲剧中探讨社会问题,而妇女问题是其中一个重要的部分。 第二,《美狄亚》中杀子复仇的母亲形象,揭示了婚恋矛盾、男女社会权力、东方和西方的文化冲突等问题,是欧里庇德斯塑造的,对后世影响最大,也是最为重要的美狄亚形象,没有之一。 第三,《美狄亚》提出了诸多女性问题。不论是女性在社会和家庭中地位和价值,男权社会对女性... 得到听书: 第一,欧里庇德斯不同于前两位悲剧作家,他用怀疑主义的精神思考他的时代,经常在悲剧中探讨社会问题,而妇女问题是其中一个重要的部分。 第二,《美狄亚》中杀子复仇的母亲形象,揭示了婚恋矛盾、男女社会权力、东方和西方的文化冲突等问题,是欧里庇德斯塑造的,对后世影响最大,也是最为重要的美狄亚形象,没有之一。 第三,《美狄亚》提出了诸多女性问题。不论是女性在社会和家庭中地位和价值,男权社会对女性的要求和评价,还是女性遭到不公对待,情感爆发时带来的毁灭性力量,一直都是不过时的话题,应该引起我们的重视。 (展开)
