An epic retelling of the 13th century story of Medea, author David Vann gives an electrifying portrait of one of ancient mythology’s most fascinating and notorious women. This re-imagining offers a realist alternative to the long held notions of Medea as monster or sorceress. Although you might think you already know the tale, the twists and turns of the story and Medea's reactions still fascinate and shock.
