Medea is one of the greatest villains in Greek Mythology, but is that a fair assumption? Blandine Le Callet and Nancy Peña have teamed up to rethink Medea in a comic of the same name. This collection includes all four volumes of the original.
Here’s the synopsis:
In this collected edition of the original four volumes, Medea reveals what the myths created by men omitted. Stories cast the legendary sorceress as many things–a caring mother and a passionate lover thwarted by her desires; an independent woman vilified for refusing the tyranny of men; a barbarian who sowed confusion in the regimented world of the Greeks; a formidable witch, mistress of occult forces. Simply put, she was precisely what some would call a monster. And yet, there is so much more to Medea.
From beyond the hearsay, exaggerations, and distortions inflicted by time, we hear Medea’s story in her voice, from the luxuriant gardens of her childhood in Colchis to the mysterious island from which she gives her final confession. The intoxicating tale builds on mythos thousands of years in the making.
Medea comes to bookstores May 7, 2024 in English.
