Medea oder Μήδεια, Mēdeia, ist eine antike griechische Tragödie von Euripides, die auf dem Mythos von Jason und Medea basiert und 431 v. Chr. erstmals aufgeführt wurde. Im Mittelpunkt der Handlung stehen die Handlungen von Medea, einer ehemaligen Prinzessin des Königreichs Kolchis und Ehefrau Jasons; sie sieht ihre Stellung in der griechischen Welt bedroht, als Jason sie für eine griechische Prinzessin aus Korinth verlässt. Medea rächt sich an Jason, indem sie seine neue Frau und ihre eigenen beiden Söhne ermordet, woraufhin sie nach Athen flieht, um ein neues Leben zu beginnen. Euripides' Stück wurde von Dramatikern in allen Jahrhunderten und auf der ganzen Welt auf vielfältige Weise erforscht und interpretiert und bietet politische, psychoanalytische, feministische und viele andere originelle Lesarten von Medea, Jason und den Kernthemen des Stücks. Zusammen mit drei anderen Stücken erhielt Euripides für Medea den dritten Preis bei den Dionysien der Stadt. Manche glauben, dass dies auf eine schlechte Rezeption hindeutet, aber "die Konkurrenz in jenem Jahr war außerordentlich groß"; Sophokles, der oft den ersten Preis gewann, wurde Zweiter. Das Stück wurde mit dem augusteischen Drama in Rom wiederentdeckt; im 16. Jahrhundert wurde es erneut aufgeführt; danach blieb es Teil des tragischen Repertoires und wurde zu einem Klassiker des westlichen Kanons und zur meistgespielten griechischen Tragödie im 20. Jahrhunderts. Im Zuge der feministischen Bewegung des späten 20. Jahrhunderts erfuhr das Stück ein erneutes Interesse, da es als eine nuancierte und sympathische Darstellung von Medeas Kampf, ihr Leben in einer von Männern dominierten Welt selbst in die Hand zu nehmen, interpretiert wurde. Das Stück hält den Tony-Award-Rekord des American Theatre Wing für die meisten Auszeichnungen für dieselbe weibliche Hauptfigur: 1948 gewann Judith Anderson, 1982 Zoe Caldwell und 1994 Diana Rigg. Medea wurde 431 v. Chr. auf dem Dionysienfest der Stadt uraufgeführt, bei dem jedes Jahr drei Tragödiendichter gegeneinander antraten, die jeweils eine Tetralogie von drei Tragödien und ein Satyrspiel schrieben (neben Medea waren dies Philoktetes, Diktys und das Satyrspiel Theristai). Im Jahr 431 wetteiferten Euphorion (der Sohn des berühmten Dramatikers Aischylos), Sophokles (Euripides' Hauptrivale) und Euripides miteinander. Euphorion gewann, und Euripides belegte den letzten Platz. Während Medea als eines der großen Stücke des westlichen Kanons gilt, deutet Euripides' Platz im Wettbewerb darauf hin, dass sein erstes Publikum vielleicht nicht so positiv reagiert hat. Ein Scholium zu Zeile 264 des Stücks deutet darauf hin, dass Medeas Kinder nach ihrer Flucht traditionell von den Korinthern getötet wurden; Euripides' offensichtliche Erfindung des Filizids könnte also Anstoß erregt haben, wie auch seine erste Bearbeitung des Hippolytos-Mythos. Dass Euripides und andere sich Freiheiten mit der Geschichte der Medea nahmen, lässt sich aus dem Historiker Diodorus Siculus aus dem 1. Jahrhundert v. Chr. ableiten: "Im Allgemeinen ist es dem Wunsch der tragischen Dichter nach dem Wunderbaren zu verdanken, dass eine so vielfältige und widersprüchliche Darstellung der Medea überliefert wurde" Eine verbreitete städtische Legende behauptete, Euripides habe Medea die Schuld gegeben, weil die Korinther ihn mit einer Summe von fünf Talenten bestochen hätten. Im 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. bietet die süditalienische Vasenmalerei eine Reihe von Medea-Darstellungen, die mit Euripides' Stück in Verbindung gebracht werden - die bekannteste ist ein Krater in München. Diese Darstellungen weichen jedoch immer erheblich von der Handlung des Stücks ab oder sind zu allgemein gehalten, um eine direkte Verbindung zu Euripides' Stück zu stützen. Aber der gewalttätige und mächtige Charakter der Medea und ihre doppelte Natur - ...

With a world steeped in materialism, environmental destruction, and injustice, what can one individual possibly do to change it? While the present obstacles we face may seem overwhelming, author and humane educator Zoe Weil shows us that change doesn't have to start with an army. It starts with you. Through her straightforward approaches to living a MOGO, or "most good," life, she reveals that the true path to inner peace doesn't require a retreat from the world. Rather, she gives the reader powerful and practicable tools to face these global issues, and improve both our planet and our personal lives. Weil explores direct ways to become involved with the community, make better choices as consumers, and develop positive messages to live by, showing readers that their simple decisions really can change the world. Inspiring and remarkably inclusive of the interconnected challenges we face today, Most Good, Least Harm is the next step beyond "green" -- a radical new way to empower the individual and motivate positive change.

Bringing together the previously disparate fields of historical witchcraft, reception history, poetics, and psychoanalysis, this innovative study shows how the glamour of the historical witch, a spell that she cast, was set on a course, over a span of three hundred years from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, to become a generally broadcast glamour of appearance. Something that a woman does, that is, became something that she has. The antique heroine Medea, witch and barbarian, infamous poisoner, infanticide, regicide, scourge of philanderers, and indefatigable traveller, serves as the vehicle of this development. Revived on the stage of modernity by La Péruse in the sixteenth century, Corneille in the seventeenth, and the operatic composer Cherubini in the eighteenth, her stagecraft and her witchcraft combine, author Amy Wygant argues, to stun her audience into identifying with her magic and making it their own. In contrast to previous studies which have relied upon contemporary printed sources in order to gauge audience participation in and reaction to early modern theater, Wygant argues that psychoanalytic thought about the behavior of groups can be brought to bear on the question of "what happened" when the early modern witch was staged. This cross-disciplinary study reveals the surprising early modern trajectory of our contemporary obsession with magic. Medea figures the movement of culture in history, and in the mirror of the witch on the stage, a mirror both appealing and appalling, our own cultural performances are reflected. It concludes with an analysis of Diderot's claim that the historical process itself is magical, and with the moment in Revolutionary France when the slight and fragile body of the golden-throated singer, Julie-Angélique Scio, became a Medea for modernity: not a witch or a child-murderess, but, as all the press reviews insist, a woman.

Rubens and the Eloquence of Drawing re-examines the early graphic practice of the preeminent northern Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577–1640) in light of early modern traditions of eloquence, particularly as promoted in the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Flemish, Neostoic circles of philologist, Justus Lipsius (1547–1606). Focusing on the roles that rhetorical and pedagogical considerations played in the artist’s approach to disegno during and following his formative Roman period (1600–08), this volume highlights Rubens’s high ambitions for the intimate medium of drawing as a primary site for generating meaningful and original ideas for his larger artistic enterprise. As in the Lipsian realm of writing personal letters – the humanist activity then described as a cognate activity to the practice of drawing – a Senecan approach to eclecticism, a commitment to emulation, and an Aristotelian concern for joining form to content all played important roles. Two chapter-long studies of individual drawings serve to demonstrate the relevance of these interdisciplinary rhetorical concerns to Rubens’s early practice of drawing. Focusing on Rubens’s Medea Fleeing with Her Dead Children (Los Angeles, Getty Museum), and Kneeling Man (Rotterdam, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen), these close-looking case studies demonstrate Rubens’s commitments to creating new models of eloquent drawing and to highlighting his own status as an inimitable maker. Demonstrating the force and quality of Rubens’s intellect in the medium then most associated with the closest ideas of the artist, such designs were arguably created as more robust pedagogical and preparatory models that could help strengthen art itself for a new and often troubled age.
