Medea by Kerry
Greenwood takes the ancient stories of Jason
and the Argonauts and its sequal Medea
and breathes new life into the story. Here in Greenwood’s book we meet a
girl who is misunderstood more than anything else. She is not the evil creature
that Eurpidies portrays in his own version of the tale. We see a woman, a
priestess of Hecate, who gives up her vocation and everything she knows for the
love of the wrong man. We see Jason as the supreme jerk he is and watch as
Medea does eventually get her happily ever after. The book is a good example of
someone taking an ancient story and showing a different side of the story.
