Medea, Jason, Euripides, Aristotle, TragedyAbstract
This article aims to answer the following question: who is the hero of Euripides' Medea? This question, which guided our study, led us to analyze the characters of Medea and Jason, who we understand to be the highlights in the world of the tragedy that is now being examined. Aristotle's Poetics is the central philosophical text of our research, as soon as he seeks to point out a normative character to define what a tragedy is. Then, we move towards presenting some challenges to Aristotle's elaborations. Finally, we will build our own position on the meaning of the hero in the studied tragedy, seeking to consider the actions of Medea and Jason in the context of tragic destiny.
