MedeaMedea is a character existing outside of the typical Greek values ​​and social systems that existed in the Greek Polis at the time of the beginning of the work. She is strong-willed, powerful, intelligent, cunning, volatile and independent.

It is also important to remember that Euripides did not confer these masculine qualities on Medea herself, but simply recognized and accentuated those qualities already present from her mythological beginnings. Medea already was
