Clarifications on Euripides' Medea

This is paper examines critically the fact that it is not the tragedy with a plot that is generally unknown to the unspecialized reader, but the one that is part of the cultural heritage of the common reader, that poses the greatest problems of interpretation, since the prejudices and preconceptions of the reader are also greater. Assuming the fact that our reading of Euripides' Medea is determined (even materially) by how we have understood certain Greek words, the present study reconsiders some aspects of Medea's program of revenge, an issue which has been previously studied in other works by the author of this paper.
