I liked Euripides tale of a strong female character destined to get revenge. None of the characters are likable but the plot is riveting enough to get your attention the whole way through. Jason abandons Medea for a richer woman. Medea decides to destroy her husband in the worst possible way, by killing their children and his new wife. This is compelling theatre at its best. It was first performed at 431 BC but it is still a timeless play. I've got to read more Greek plays.
