Abstract

This paper examines a modern production of Euripides’ Medea (431 b.C.), staged in the last years of the 20th century, in the Greek National Theatre, directed by Niketi Contour. Significantly connected to a specific political atmosphere, which, I believe, was created by the Greek official resolution concerning the infamous “Language Issue”, it offers a singular point of view to consider Euripides’ play in a contemporary perspective, as well as the Greek drama modern reception as a whole.
