Revenge: Euripides’ “Medea” is a Greek tragedy revenge emerges as the main theme that drives the narrative of the tragic events that follow. Medea, a betrayed and upset wife, becomes a rageful woman who wants revenge as she goes through her grief. She wanted to make her husband pay after he told her he wanted to marry Glauce, the princess of Corinth. The theme of revenge comes to life when Medea is banished by Creon and hatches her plan to put poison on a crown and a gown to give to Glauce to kill her as well as her father when he would touch her. She battles with her mind as if she could kill her sons which she decides that she would so that no one would take them from her as well as she does not want anyone else killing them either. Jason is left grieving as he as lost everything as Medea rides on her chariot from her grandfather, the Sun-God.<ref> This tragedy serves as an example of how revenge and vengeance can lead to tragic consequences for those who are given into the temptation. She was also portrayed as a “mad woman” who was portrayed as mentally ill.<ref>
