Description
This volume addresses various aspects of the character of Medea and the
presentation of her emotions in literature and in connection with Medea,
of philosophical views on emotions and of the reception of these themes
in the later European tradition. One of the articles discusses the
presentation of Medea's emotions in Hellenistic literature, i.e. in
Callimachus and Apollonius Rhodius. Three other papers focus on aspects
of philosophy, ranging from Plato to Stoicism. The reception of
Euripidean emotionality and the character of Medea in the later European
tradition is the subject of two other articles, which focus on the
Renaissance poet Maffeo Vegio and on the way in which Goethe models his
Iphigeneia on the character of Medea.
