Classical Studies The story of Medea's actions at Corinth and her murder of Creusa, Creon, and her own children is well known. Three major texts cover the story: Euripides' Medea, Ovid's Heroides 12, and Seneca's Medea, in addition to representations on vases and sarcophagi. The figure of Creusa, princess of Corinth, wife of Jason, and victim of Medea, is discussed less often. Nevertheless, this secondary character plays a pivotal part in the story, setting the terrible events at Corinth in motion. This thesis examines how Creusa's role offers insights into the motives of the other characters and sheds light on how each author and artist chooses to construct the story. 2008-08-25 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1210778909 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1210778909 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
