    Persuasive Essay On Medea

    • 521 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Ancient Greek society highly valued the idea of its citizens meeting the expectations of their social and moral responsibility in terms of the principle of sophrosyne, that is finding balance between reason and passion. However, Euripides in exploring the rationalisations of Jason and Medea, in his tragedy Medea, challenges the commonly held value of seeking balance. Jason breaks his oaths and leaves Medea for fortune and prestige, while Medea sets on the quest to exact her retribution on Jason. Ultimately, however, Medea is Euripides iconoclastic attack on the Greek social system, suggesting to the audience that maybe the real criminal is the androcentric Greek society, where woman and the second class are unjustly subjugated. Leaving Medea for Glauce, in pursuit of wealth and prestige, Jason remains naïve to the fact that he has become a criminal.…
