Wonderful summary of my favourite Greek tragedy. Deeper than a lover's love is a lover's hate. Well said!
WOW! Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn. She had good reason for her scorn, but left a lot of collateral damage, never killing Jason, but rather everybody he loved. No wonder Medea is not a popular name to give a daughter.
I named my daughter Medea, almost 20yrs ago
My Medea loves her name
Tyler Perry really has been doing this forever.
Love this
From a spiritual standpoint sure
I really liked this - accessible classics for the rest of us! More please!
That took me back to my classical Greek OU courses! Quite some time ago, but I try to keep some basic knowledge fresh. Thank you, this was an amazing short version of the original much, much longer one!
I studied the play 'Medea" when I did my MA in Classical Studies for my EMA and I watched two versions of the play. She murdered her own children, Jason's new bride and her father king Cleon just to punish Jason for being unfaithful to her.
This gives me chills in a real way, Why? Because in 1975 there was a play called Madea in Essex county college in Newark NJ and I know the woman who played Madea and the man who played Jason and the Children who was deleted.

Really - Very well made. Thank you very much for this amazing, informative and at the same time entertaining minutes, video!
We all poisened with the gift of self destructrion.thanks Jason
This is a brilliant animation, thanks for sharing it. On the thumbnail there is a small typo tradegy> tragedy
Glorious
I love the historical accuracy
This is mythology.
in Georgian mythology Medea didn't kill her children, some people killed them and blamed her, because she was foreign and the "king" of greece didn't want Jason to marry foreign woman, neither Greeks. so they blamed her children's murderer to her. neither! she didn't kill Jason's women, everything is explained by Political issue with Kolchs and greeks
Omg i found u

It's interesting that the tragic myth of Jason and Medea inspired the British drama TV series Doctor Foster.
‘Tradegy’
Courtney Love says this is the meaning of Hole.
Why are these greek characters depicted as black? Ancient greeks werent black
I was annoyed too at first, but then I realized that the skin tone matches the orangish brown skin of people depicted on ancient pottery. Take note that her children are depicted with brown skin but blonde hair. I don’t think they look African.
Medea isn't Greek.. And maybe you should blame the Ancient Greeks for painting themselves in dark colours.
There is a difference between being dark skinned and being black. Don't know how undiverse your life has been, or how young you are, but there are many races of people who have individuals with naturally tanned skin or just tan heavily.
Also please know I am fighting the urge to insult you because I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are simply ignorant.
Medea = Media? 🤔
Great name.... just rolls off the toung my Medea gets called Dee
👏👍
What was that?
Why'd she kill her son just to kill her husband
She never killed Jason, only everyone he's ever loved. She killed them because she was a barbarian who was betrayed, and she wanted him to rue his existence for that betrayal. What else would you expect of someone who would kill her own brother?
Permission to use your video for our film project
I love her!!!
Great animation but there is much more depth in Medea. It is about womans position in patriarchal society and the way man treated women like an object with no capacity to have mind of their own.
