| | Greek Theater in NY with Randy Gener (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) |
 | | The myth of the barbarian Woman who kills her own offspring to spite her philandering husband, while routine in the animal kingdom, seems so extreme and confounding to rational-thinking humans (yet so prevalent in the tabloids) that it is not very surprising to see that there are three "Medea" scheduled to go into production. |
 | | The Greek world, with its mythic preoccupation of the roles of men and women in society, casts a very long shadow over our (postmodern) society, eternally obsessed and perplexed as we are with gender, class, sex, race, and performativity. |
 | | Such is the magnitude of the extant tragedy by Euripedes, which he wrote in 431 B.C., that many Greek scholars have attempted to explain, in humanistic terms, the blazing yet barbarous terms of Euripedes's Medeament. |
