Year 11 are just finishing their study of Greek Drama by reading Medea, a tragedy written by Euripides. It is a terrible tale of a woman who sacrifices everything for her husband only to have him leave her for a princess. Medea’s response to this betrayal is still relevant in the 21st century as the cultural values of ancient Greece have parallels in today’s world.
