About this listen
Medea is an ancient Greek tragedy written by Euripides, based upon the myth of Jason and Medea and first produced in 431 BC. The plot centers on the actions of Medea, a former princess of the "barbarian" kingdom of Colchis, and the wife of Jason; she finds her position in the Greek world threatened as Jason leaves her for a Greek princess of Corinth. Medea takes vengeance on Jason by murdering Jason's new wife as well as her own children, after which she escapes to Athens to start a new life.

great performance, difficult story!
The reading of this was really good. The story's pretty dark though! I probably works both for pleasure ( I'm studying).

Painful
This was very disappointing. It is like someone has attempted to give Euripides a Shakespearean makeover. It does not work. This is not Shakespeare. It does not need to be altered. Granted, if the translation used was written in Shakespearean times it would explain it, however, it wasn’t!!
This is utterly dreadful, do yourself a favour and get a. MOre contemporary and accurate version. This is a waste of money and gives a very wrong impression of classical literature.
