About this listen

 Dive into the chilling world of Medea, a powerful fabula crepidata penned by Seneca the Younger around 50 CE. This gripping Roman play, known for its intense emotional depth, explores the harrowing tale of Medeas revenge against her unfaithful husband Jason and the conniving King Creon, who has orchestrated Jasons marriage to his daughter. With Medea delivering more than half of the lines, her unyielding voice resonates throughout the play, symbolizing justice for the transgressions against divine order. Themes of vengeance, power, and the struggles against silencing the truth abound in this timeless classic. - Summary by Alan Mapstone
