Médée: tragédie by baron de Hilaire Bernard de Requeleyne Longepierre
"Médée: tragédie" by Hilaire-Bernard de Longepierre is a tragedy first performed in 1694. The play follows Medea, a woman who sacrificed everything—country, throne, family, honor—for Jason, only to be abandoned by him in a foreign land. Now stripped of status and dignity, she faces a choice between humiliation and vengeance. Longepierre presents a humanized Medea worthy of pity, staying close to ancient sources while confronting audiences with extreme passion and horror rarely
seen on the French classical stage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
