Wonderful summary of my favourite Greek tragedy. Deeper than a lover's love is a lover's hate. Well said!
WOW! Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn. She had good reason for her scorn, but left a lot of collateral damage, never killing Jason, but rather everybody he loved. No wonder Medea is not a popular name to give a daughter.
I named my daughter Medea, almost 20yrs ago
My Medea loves her name
I really liked this - accessible classics for the rest of us! More please!
Tyler Perry really has been doing this forever.
Love this
From a spiritual standpoint sure
That took me back to my classical Greek OU courses! Quite some time ago, but I try to keep some basic knowledge fresh. Thank you, this was an amazing short version of the original much, much longer one!
Really - Very well made. Thank you very much for this amazing, informative and at the same time entertaining minutes, video!
This is a brilliant animation, thanks for sharing it. On the thumbnail there is a small typo tradegy> tragedy
This gives me chills in a real way, Why? Because in 1975 there was a play called Madea in Essex county college in Newark NJ and I know the woman who played Madea and the man who played Jason and the Children who was deleted.

I studied the play 'Medea" when I did my MA in Classical Studies for my EMA and I watched two versions of the play. She murdered her own children, Jason's new bride and her father king Cleon just to punish Jason for being unfaithful to her.
We all poisened with the gift of self destructrion.thanks Jason
Glorious
in Georgian mythology Medea didn't kill her children, some people killed them and blamed her, because she was foreign and the "king" of greece didn't want Jason to marry foreign woman, neither Greeks. so they blamed her children's murderer to her. neither! she didn't kill Jason's women, everything is explained by Political issue with Kolchs and greeks
Omg i found u
hell yesss 🔥🔥
Why are these greek characters depicted as black? Ancient greeks werent black
I was annoyed too at first, but then I realized that the skin tone matches the orangish brown skin of people depicted on ancient pottery. Take note that her children are depicted with brown skin but blonde hair. I don’t think they look African.
Medea isn't Greek.. And maybe you should blame the Ancient Greeks for painting themselves in dark colours.
There is a difference between being dark skinned and being black. Don't know how undiverse your life has been, or how young you are, but there are many races of people who have individuals with naturally tanned skin or just tan heavily.
Also please know I am fighting the urge to insult you because I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are simply ignorant.

I love the historical accuracy
This is mythology.
It's interesting that the tragic myth of Jason and Medea inspired the British drama TV series Doctor Foster.
Great name.... just rolls off the toung my Medea gets called Dee
Courtney Love says this is the meaning of Hole.
the tale of no personal responsibility and lack of independence
‘Tradegy’
👏👍
What was that?
Medea = Media? 🤔

Why'd she kill her son just to kill her husband
She never killed Jason, only everyone he's ever loved. She killed them because she was a barbarian who was betrayed, and she wanted him to rue his existence for that betrayal. What else would you expect of someone who would kill her own brother?
She wanted him to live and suffer. He was willing to cast her aside and leave her with nothing so she decides to do the same.
It's ruthless but she murdered her own brother for Jason so he's an idiot for thinking humiliating her like that would end well for him.
Great animation but there is much more depth in Medea. It is about womans position in patriarchal society and the way man treated women like an object with no capacity to have mind of their own.
The daughter of the king. She was georgian.
I love her!!!
So you, Medeea, thought it was a great idea to betray your blood family for your lustful choice.
Then all the pain and guilt you carried added tremendous hate to the betrayal you felt. *You were never actually weak or passive* , since you took so much action in the past to get the man and life you wanted so using the slight of being perceived as weak is a rationalization of taking further action after you've been betrayed.
In the end *you take revenge on literally everyone who was innocent in this story* but not on the one who was to blame for some of your feelings, which showcases your initial weaknesses - enmeshment with that man and irrationality.
