Medea (Seneca) (original) (raw)
Medea is a fabula crepidata (Roman tragedy with Greek subject) of about 1027 lines of verse written by Seneca the Younger. It is generally considered to be the strongest of his earlier plays. It was written around 50 CE. The play is about the vengeance of Medea against her betraying husband Jason and King Creon. The leading role, Medea, delivers over half of the play's lines. Medea addresses many themes, one being that the title character represents "payment" for humans' transgression of natural laws. She was sent by the gods to punish Jason for his sins. Another theme is her powerful voice that cannot be silenced, not even by King Creon.

Elle est surtout célèbre pour sa construction programmatique : au début de la pièce, Médée annonce : « Medea fiam » (v. 171), — « je deviendrai Médée ». À la fin de la pièce, avant d'assassiner ses enfants, elle peut ainsi constater : « Medea nunc sum » (v. 910) — « maintenant, je suis Médée », c'est-à-dire l'héroïne tragique connue de tous. Elle est alors prête à commettre le plus horrible de tous ses crimes, c'est-à-dire l'infanticide, le meurtre de ses propres enfants. c'est le dénouement de sa vengeance.
