Euripides was an ancient Greek tragedian who had a great influence on the development of European drama in later generations. He brought the daily lives of ordinary people to the stage. His works presented distinct social issues, created some important images of ordinary people, and also showed profound psychological descriptions. He was an innovator in the development of ancient Greek tragedy. "Medea" is one of Euripides' most famous tragedies and one of the three major tragedies of ancient Greece. Medea was a princess of a barbaric country. She betrayed her country and killed her brother because she fell in love with Jason. At this time, Jason married another Corinthian princess and abandoned Medea. The Corinthian king even wanted to expel her from the country. Medea had no choice but to poison the princess as a gift, then reluctantly killed her and Jason's sons, and escaped in a dragon chariot to take revenge on Jason.
