[Medea]

[meadowphoenix]

God that lady looks great. What movie/show/play is she in specifically?

eta: also OP, you okay?

It's a piece of art showing Helen McCrory playing Medea in a production from the British National Theatre.

And yes, thank you. I just re-watched this play and there's something about it that gets me every time, even though I'm in a much better place these days. Basically, Medea left her family and home behind for her lover and then when he leaves her, she's so totally broken and I scarily understand her urge to destroy whatever she can.

[meadowphoenix]

Thank you! I'm definitely going to try to find a copy.

I'm glad you're in a better place! Medea is genuinely my favorite Euripides, because he lets her have the full destructive impulse.

Apologies for not including a TW

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, OP here, I realized maybe this should include a TW/CW because of the play's plot. Not intentional, I just didn't think of it at the time.

Medea has always been my favourite Greek myth. She felt painfully real.

You might like the book Pandora's Jar OP. It's a collection of essays about women from Greek mythology that challenges the popular narrative about each of them. Gives a lot of background and describes how many common tellings of the myths were informed by later attitudes.

Medea was one of my favourite chapters! I also loved the Medusa one because it acknowledged that the version of that myth involving Poseidon and Athena isn't as "correct" as tumblr likes to think.

Thanks for the rec, sounds very interesting!
