Re: Whatcha thinking about now? (v2)
I'm reading Medea for the first time. I think Euripides is my new favorite old Greek dude. I know the myth, but the way he tries to reframe the Greek cultural values to make Medea sympathetic even despite her being a foreign woman who commits infanticide is pretty coy. He's pretty well known for his proto feminist works, but I feel it's on display very well in this play.
