THE DAWN PALACE, THE STORY OF MEDEA
New York : Dutton, 1988.
IL YA
Medea in traditional mythology is a witch who killed her own children. This is an alternative telling of her story. Medea, infatuated by Jason, sets him up to be a well-loved king -- so well that her subjects don't respect her. When Jason brings home a new wife, Medea's knowledge of science and medicine helps her inflict cruel revenge on Jason's new wife. This is an exciting tale of a caring Medea, the victim of the men in her life.
