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.
