The Hades II trailer is great not only for more Olympian thirst traps, but also for a frog!
In Aristophanes' The Frogs, Dionysos goes down into the underworld to search for Euripides. The chorus is made up of (ghost?) frogs who sing Βρεκεκεκὲξ κοὰξ κοάξ (Brekekekex Koax Koax).
#66 Medea
Much of the sympathetic bent given to Medea comes from Euripides’ tragedy ‘Medea’ written for a playwright contest in 431 BCE. Despite the play being considered one of the greatest in the western canon, Euripides got third place.

Medea
In Euripides's play Medea, Jason leaves Medea when Creon, king of Corinth, offers him his daughter, Glauce.
The play tells of Medea avenging her husband's betrayal by killing their children.
By Victor Mote
1809–1897

“I dream of rivers with a hundred mouths and mountains where the leaves turn over like silver fire. Take me there, Dionysus”
- Euripides, from ‘Bakkhai
#MythologyMonday
Jason's tale has been written down by many people in many time periods, including Pindar, Euripides and Apollonios. One version, the Argonautica Orphica, tells the tale from Orpheus' point of view. I'll draw on many of these as we go along.
This is Euripides- bastard son of Aurelia and a man she never speaks of. Euripides is- for the most part- hidden from the Vouvali family. He is only known to Aurelia's hunters and Sir Romulus.
🎨 Jean Bellette (1908 – 1991) was an Australian 🇦🇺 artist and modernist painter. Bellette was influential in mid-twentieth century Sydney art circles. She frequently painted scenes influenced by the Greek tragedies of Euripides and Sophocles and the epics of Homer.
