Medea, the character most famous for being downright insane. Her story, and the play by Euripides, is one of the most bloody and violent of all of Greek mythology. It's also one of the few that treat women as humans. What a coincidence.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: Medea, by Euripides and translated by John Davie.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.
