Book synopsis

Medea
Witch. Poisonner. Child Murdererer. No woman in myth is as infamous as the killer queen from Colchis. She has been the star of plays, books and operas and many of the tales from Greek mythology. Here, for the first time, all the details of her lurid life are gathered into a single biography that takes you from her birthplace in remote Colchis on a deadly rampage across the Black Sea, through Thessaly, Corinth, Athens and beyond.

Who was Medea? What drove her to kill and kill again? In Greece during the heroic age, where encounters with gods, centaurs and sorcery are regular events, Medea had to survive in a world filled with intrigue, violence and betrayal. She does so with cunning and unflinching ruthlessness - yet somehow remains a woman, not a monster.

Whether sailing with Jason and the Argonauts, crossing paths with Hercules or trying to kill Theseus, Medea is at the heart of many ancient legends, yet her character has remained a mystery. Here, her secrets are revealed and her world explained.
