Abstract

Since the time of the ancient Greeks themselves, Greek myth and dramas based on Greek myth have continued to provide inspiration to authors and artists. In the case of the Medea myth, Euripides' adaptation in his famous tragedy, first produced at the Great Dionysia in Athens in 431 BC, proved to be so successful that he may be said to have created a new standard version of the Medea myth which was recognized by all subsequent artists who made use of the myth.!
