A 3 page essay that addresses the revenge motif in Euripides' Medea. In ancient Greek society, honor was a paramount virtue that determined, along with one's duty--to the gods and society, much of what was considered to be moral conduct. In Medea, Euripides makes it clear that Jason does not act honorably, but is, rather, selfish, irresponsible and foolish in violating the trust of his wife Medea, who knows to be related to the gods and who he knows also, because she aided him with her magic in obtaining the Golden Fleece, to be a powerful sorceress. A modern perspective sees Medea as a monster because she takes innocent lives, her own children and the life of Jason's betrothed. However, Euripides' treatment of the characters makes it clear through the revenge motif that ancient Greek sympathies were with Media and saw her revenge in terms of a tragic, but deserved downfall for Jason. No additional sources cited.
