    Picture a woman so consumed by betrayal that she would destroy what she loves most to punish the man who wronged her. This is the heart of Euripides' "Medea," a play that shocked ancient Athens in 431 BCE yet speaks with disturbing clarity to modern audiences. When first performed, this tale of infanticide was so unsettling it placed last in Athens' prestigious dramatic competition. Today, it ranks among the most frequently performed Greek tragedies, with productions starring luminaries from Maria Callas to Diana Rigg. Even Beyonce referenced the vengeful sorceress in "Lemonade," showing how this ancient exploration of betrayal continues to resonate. What makes this play endure? Perhaps it's Euripides' revolutionary willingness to place us in the mind of someone committing the unthinkable-forcing us to understand her rage before recoiling from her revenge.
