My first time reading Euripides and I'm now confident it won't be the last!

It was a quick read, and the lack of stage directions threw me a bit at first but I soon got used to it. It was a short play and easy to breeze through.

I am familiar with Medea and her myth a little bit, though this play is set after what most people know her for (helping Jason get the golden fleece, and killing her brother in an insanely barbaric way). It was enjoyable - a little sad and quite dark, but I already knew that going into it so it was nothing super surprising in terms of the plot.

I must note though that it's almost hard to believe this was written by a man. Especially at time and place (5th century BC Athens) when women had little to no rights, had to be accompanied in public, and were likely not even allowed to watch this play be performed. 
For a play written by a man, performed by men, to audiences of men... I think it's quite a daring play. Jason is an insufferable and highly irritating man (some of the stuff that man said, oh LORD) and Medea is no better, but you do find yourself siding with her - more so for the arguments she makes, not for what she actually does in the end. 

I'll be studying this for uni so may update when I've learnt more about it!
