Medea takes place in ancient Greece, during the time of kings and princesses. The most significant character in this play is of course Medea herself. As the play begins, we are told of her previous love for Jason, which has recently turned to hatred as a result of his betrayal to her for another woman.

Medea is one of these people whose effort and passion helped women to find honorable place in the society; maybe not yet fully equal to men, but very close.
