Medea and Lady Macbeth would either be besties or try to kill each other. I’m not sure which.

TESTIMONIALS
"Phwoar, I love tombs' <- direct quote. also she has a wonderful husband and two adopted teenagers and she spends all her time being a deranged scholarwife / psychopomp . AND she has a fern collection."
[Art by @bugcowboyart, used with permission]
"This MILF has been around for literal millennia. She’s hot. She’s a witch. She has an unbridled lust for violence and revenge. She’s a stranger in a strange land yet manages to amass a girl group to support her in her women‘s wrongs (shoutout to the Women of Corinth aka the chorus). She carefully re-crafts her personality to manipulate each man she comes across.
There’s literally never been a portrayal of her that wasn’t hot. In a genre where everyone who does wrong finds themself facing the scales of justice and the wrath of the gods, she kills her own kids and her husband’s new wife then fucking flies off on a chariot pulled by dragons leaving her the broken husk of her husband to waste away and loose all his status as a hero. Iconic behaviour."
[Art is "Medea," painted by Frederick Sandys in 1868]

"they died from a disease they caught from their father"
[little first-draft snippet of a bigger thing i'm working on. sometimes you just need to write about medea.]
#buckles up for someone on the internet to steal this lmao#this is why i haven't posted poetry on here until now#the horror stories i've heard...#anyway please don't do that.#but anyway. euripides's medea is so fascinating to me. i was trying to think of a way to merge his medea with seneca's#and what came out was this Thing#medea#medea euripides#my poetry#jason and medea#tagamemnon#greek myths#classics#classicsposting#child death#child death warning

hi! if i wanted to read medea, what translation/version would you recommend? are johnston and lochhead translations of the same work?
yes darling they’re all translations of the same work. i think johnston’s translation is a good start. i haven’t personally read lochheads’s version, i only came upon her excerpt of “tell me how does it feel with my teeth in your heart!” accidentally while i was researching & was compelled by it, it’s SO good. also read some excerpts of robin robertson’s translation & it was exquisite. i’ll have to thoroughly read all of this after i’m done with my pile of never-ending assignments lmao god help me. happy reading tho MWAH ❤️🩹🧚🏻

With ancient literature, you never know what you'll read. It can either be some weird incest thing, or the gayest shit out there. On the rare occasion, you read people describing feet.
#homer#the odyssey#english#english major#ancient to classical#Ovid#oedipus#medea euripides#the epic of gilgamesh#they have feet fetishes#sir Gawain kissed the lord#he kissed the green knight#it’s canon#“well oiled feet“ is a huge one

No but like
“Sex leads to death”. This has so many different interpretations. Sex leads to the death of a woman’s innocence; sex may lead to the death of a woman when she gives birth; sex leads to the death of a child if they are stillborn; sex leads to life, and all life ends in death, and so we grieve from the moment our children are born because we know they will die. We will all die.

My brain will never be able to wrap itself around the concepts of "feminine and masculine ways of murder" 😂

Ayse Sultan × Medea by Euripides
Oh children, my children, you still have a city and a home, where you can live, once you've left me in wretched suffering.
You can live on here without your mother.
But I'll go to some other country, an exile, before I've had my joy in you, before I've seen you happy, or helped to decorate your marriage beds, your brides, your bridal chambers, or lifted high your wedding torches. How miserable my self-will has made me. I raised you— and all for nothing. The work I did for you, the cruel hardships, pains of childbirth— all for nothing. Once, in my foolishness, I had many hopes in you—it's true— that you'd look after me in my old age, that you'd prepare my corpse with your own hands, in the proper way, as all people wish.
But now my tender dreams have been destroyed.
(made for my darling Joanna's / @mihrunnisasultans birthday & inspired by her own idea <3)
