Medea: SexWar

"We define the myth as consisting of all its versions" Claude Levi-Strauss

"A myth is a polyphonic fugue for many voices" William Irwin Thompson

Did you know that what you hear
is from Euripides Medea
of 431
that's 431 BC!
The breaking of male monopoly
has just begun!

These words from a women's chorus
at least 2000 years before us
weren't much heeded,
but since what they sung then
should still be listened to by men
a translation's needed...
Tony Harrison
