This edition of Euripides' Medea offers a detailed introduction, a newly revised Greek text (with linguistic explanations), a German prose translation and a detailed commentary on linguistic and factual problems, for the understanding of which knowledge of Greek is not required. It thus fulfils the intention of the series to make Greek drama accessible to a wider range of readers with different interests. The design of the text and the commentary throughout also required an in-depth examination of specific scholarly discussions, especially with regard to the questions of authenticity of individual parts of the text, which are particularly relevant to the Medea text. Hypotheses are proposed that have consequences for the course of the plot and for the understanding of the depiction of Medea's plan for revenge and its motivation. The question of whether Euripides was the first to have Medea deliberately kill her children, as is usually assumed, is also raised by further reflections on the relationship between the Euripidean Medea and the so-called Ur-Medea and the Medea of Neophron.
