Medea Of Colchis

Περιγραφή

We are delighted to announce the release of a new series of short books in English, designed for both young and old readers. These books introduce the ancient world through its heroines. Whether they are simplified adaptations of classic tragedies by Euripides, Aeschylus, and Sophocles, or original works based on surviving sources, these books aim to take readers on a journey filled with excitement, drama, death, and love. They focus on the women who played significant roles in history but are often remembered as mere bystanders. The series begins with six books, featuring the tales of Medea, Circe, Electra, Helen, Ariadne, and Antigone. Each book can be read independently and in any order, yet there is an underlying thread that connects all these characters, offering a broader perspective on what it meant to be a woman in the ancient Greek world. Vittorio Mattioli and Mike French are the writers, translators, and copy-editors of this series. The unique cover art was created by the talented Athenian artist Little Miss Grumpy, one of the most promising illustrators of her generation. Medea of Colchis: All is lost. The love of her life, Jason, has betrayed her and is leaving her for another woman. She finds herself alone in a foreign land, with no friends or family, except for her two young sons and a few loyal servants. But Medea is no ordinary princess. Her grandfather is Helios, the god of the Sun. She plans to use her cunning and witchcraft to seek vengeance. However, revenge always comes at a price. Is she willing to sacrifice everything to make Jason pay for his betrayal?
