MEDEA: Let no one think of me
As humble or weak or passive; let them understand
I am of a different kind: dangerous to my enemies,
Loyal to my friends. To such a life glory belongs.
[ΜΉΔΕΙΑ:μηδείς με φαύλην κἀσθενῆ νομιζέτω
μηδ᾽ ἡσυχαίαν, ἀλλὰ θατέρου τρόπου,
βαρεῖαν ἐχθροῖς καὶ φίλοισιν εὐμενῆ:
810τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων εὐκλεέστατος βίος.]Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist

MEDEA: Now let things take their course. What use is life to me?
I have no land, no home, no refuge from despair.

MEDEA: What makes me cry with pain
Is the next thing I have to do. I will kill my sons.
No one shall take my children from me.

✨Pentheus being torn apart by maenads✨
Euripides ‘The Bacchae’ tells the unfortunate tale of Pentheus, the king of Thebes, who banned the worship of Dionysius. This provoked the wrath of the god and led to the women of Thebes breaking out into a Bachhic frenzy. Pentheus was ripped limb from limb. His death was viewed as a sparagmos, where tearing an animal (or human) apart was viewed as a special type of sacrifice. This fresco from the triclinium in the House of the Vettii in Pompeii, seems to run counter to today’s notions of good taste…

CHORUS: May I know the blessing of a heart that is not passion’s slave; no fairer gift can the gods bestow. But may the dread Cyprian never inflict upon me quarrelsome moods and insatiable strife, firing my heart with love for a stranger; may she rather show respect for marriages where peace reigns and judge with a shrewd eye the loves of women.

MEDEA
von Euripides am Berliner Ensemble in der Inszenierung von #MichaelThalheimer ist ein wahres Monument der Sprache. Wie #ConstanzeBecker das gestaltet, ist berührend, erschütternd, erschreckend und dabei von großer Klarheit. Wieder einmal ein großer, zeitloser Theaterabend am BE.

No other goddess brings such delight.

incurs the greatest penalty for, feeling confident
to cloak injustice in fair speech,
he dares the utmost villainy.

I watched Ifigenia (Iphigenia) last night. It broke me. Just broke me. I wasn't familiar with the story. Irene Papas is gut wrenching. And I can't believe Tatiana Papamoschou was only 13 when this was made. #greekmythology #film #euripides

MEDEA: O Zeus, why did you give men certain ways
to recognize false gold, when there’s no mark,
no token stamped on the human body,
to indicate which men are worthless.
[ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: ὦ Ζεῦ, τί δὴ χρυσοῦ μὲν ὃς κίβδηλος ᾖ
τεκμήρι᾽ ἀνθρώποισιν ὤπασας σαφῆ,
ἀνδρῶν δ᾽ ὅτῳ χρὴ τὸν κακὸν διειδέναι
οὐδεὶς χαρακτὴρ ἐμπέφυκε σώματι;]Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist

MEDEA: Men say we live a safe life in the home,
While they do battle with the spear.
But they are wrong; I’d rather stand three times
with shield in hand than give birth once.

NURSE: But not long
Can the extremes of grandeur ever last;
And heavier are the curses which it brings
When Fortune visits us in all her wrath.

NURSE: Terrible is the temperament of royalty,
Who are rarely controlled, always imperious;
It is hard for them to give up their wrath.
To get used to living like everybody else
Is better.

Evil to the old one we’ve hardly saved ourselves from.
