What is the significance of the final scene in Euripides Medea?

At the end of Medea, Euripides ends it with a scene of contradictions and conundrums. Unlike most tragedies, Medea actually gets away with all the murders she has committed. It is questionable whether or not Medea took it too far by killing her children, but there is also the hint that it could've been just that she do so. Medea escapes in a chariot drawn by dragons with the corpes of her two sons. By taking their lives and not giving Jason the priveledge to give them a proper burial, she leaves Jason without love and accomplishes her revenge.


Medea was famous for what?

What qualities does the Greek god Nemesis have?

Nemesis was goddess of Revenge, Justice, and Equality. You know when you see those statues of women who are blindfolded, holding a set of scales in one hand and a sword in the other? That's her. She's often seen by Capitol buildings, or other places related to Justice, such as courts. Sometimes she and Athena are combined into one goddess named Eureka. Her name now is a term for "Enemy." A minor goddess, not one of the 12 Olympians.

Why is revenge a kind of wild justice?

Revenge is considered a kind of wild justice because it typically involves a person taking matters into their own hands without going through the formal legal system. It is often driven by intense emotions such as anger, hatred, or desire for retribution, leading to actions that may be impulsive, disproportionate, and lacking in rationality or fairness. Revenge can perpetuate a cycle of harm and conflict rather than achieving true justice.

What distinctions are there that you think can be made between justice and revenge?

One distinction I think can be made is the fact that juctice is often a lot more fair than revenge. Revenge is done out of anger, justice is not.OrI think most would agree that 'justice' is intended to reflect a common good but 'revenge' comes from a place of personal gain or comfort.In many legal examples we've seen in the last few years, a criminal trial is an attempt to mete justice but the subsequent civil trial is often motivated purely by revenge.For some interesting reading, try Plato's Republic on justice and the Hammurabic Code on revenge.-CB
