Episode description

It's time for our first ever Roman tragedy... Seneca's Medea is mouthier, angrier, and even more vengeful than Euripides, and I'm here for it. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources: Seneca's Medea, Oxford Classics edition translated by Emily Wilson; Seneca's Medea translated by Frank Justus Miller. Check out the Spotify playlist on past episodes featuring Medea and Jason, including the story that leads to when this play takes place.
