Description
Excerpt from The Medea of Euripides: Literally Translated, With Critical and Explanatory Notes
Euripides can hardly be said to be a true tragedian. His plays contain much that savors of the melodrama. They might end either happily or otherwise without marring or changing that which has gone before, and the tragic element is usually contributed by the introduction of some unexpected wholesale slaughter, which suggests that the poet''s disposition contained more than a grain of morbid cruelty.
