Medea Paperback – November 29, 2005

I read this version of Medea and found it very easy to follow and understand. Never did I think I would enjoy let alone understand a 5th Century BCE poet. I have read The Bacchae in the past. I found that difficult reading but had a different version of the play.This version of Medea is brilliant and very easy to follow. Having the explanations on the side of the page made a huge difference than to have to consistently turn to the glossary for an explanation of what was said. That is very distracting, and I often have to re-read the passage more than once to find my bearings.Again, great version of Medea!

I mean it's pretty good, just read it it's wicked short and there's no way it would take anyone more than three hours to read this. Damn go make a day out of it have a glass of wine, lay in the sun, read the book. At the end you'll have a tan a buzz and know a wild old story. It's an all around win.

Very short play. Its okay

It has words

The book has translated the words for high school students. If you need it for a college class it's great but very simiplifed. I would recommend getting another edition of the play. The book is perfect for highschool-ers though. If they just want to read the play for fun or need it for a class.

I have used this play in my IB English World Literature HL class and in my IB Theatre Arts HL class. I haven't used any other edition or version, but this one is great.

This book was great! I didn't want one of those books with 100 Greek stories in them, so this was perfect as it only had Medea. The pages offer explanations and citations for Greek historical references and further information on details. The print is easy to read as well. I highly recommend this book, especially for a student.

No surprises and great speed in shipping. The book was also in good condition for used. My only complaint would be the amount of stickers on the back cover, but that was irrelevant to the quality.
