Unbinding Medea - Interdisciplinary Approaches to a Classical Myth From Antiquity to

Informationen zum Autor Heike Bartel Klappentext Medea - simply to mention her name conjures up echoes and cross-connections from Antiquity to the present. The vengeful wife! the murderess of her own children! the frail! suicidal heroine! the archetypal Bad Mother! the smitten maiden! the barbarian! the sorceress! the abused victim! the case study for a pathology. Zusammenfassung Unbinding Medea signals the very different answers to medea to provoke debate that transcends individual and discipline-specific approaches to the reception of her myth from antiquity to the twenty-first century and to present interdisciplinary parameters of engagement.
