Description
Explore the complex legacy of the Medea myth in this interdisciplinary volume from Routledge. Part of the Classics and the Postcolonial series, this book examines the ancient Greek figure of Medea alongside global analogues such as La Malinche and La Llorona. It investigates the themes of the foreign woman, exile, fratricide, and infanticide through a postcolonial lens. This scholarly work tracks the evolution of these mythic and folk tales from antiquity to the modern era. By analyzing various media including drama, film, novels, and the visual arts, the text provides a deep look into how these deadly, exiled women are represented across different cultures and time periods.
