Zajčeva Medeja v primerjavi z Evripidovo in Senekovo

Mitska zgodba o Medeji, ki sta jo v svojih tragedijah prikazala grški dramatik Evripid in rimski Seneka, je v slovenski literaturi navdahnila Daneta Zajca. Diplomsko delo s pomočjo zrcala značilnosti avtorjev in obdobij najprej med seboj primerja antični deli, nato pa ju prikaže še v odnosu do modernejše slovenske različice Medeje. Izhajajoč iz mita o Argonavtih, se primerjava najprej osredotoči na zunanje in slogovne značilnosti vseh treh dram, ter nato podrobno prikaže prelivanje in razvoj ključnih motivov, ki se pojavljajo v njih in vodijo glavne akterje k njihovim dejanjem, predvsem v ljubezni prevarano čarovnico Medejo k umoru svojih dveh otrok.The mythical story of Medea, portrayed by Greek playwright Euripides and Roman playwright Seneca in their tragedies also inspired Slovenian author Dane Zajc. By virtue of typical features of the dramaturgical periods and depicted playwrights, the diploma thesis begins with comparison between ancient Greek and Roman tragedies, followed by their portrayal in resemblance to newer Slovenian version of Medea. Starting with the ancient Greek legend of Argonauts, the comparison begins by focusing on the form and style characteristics of the three plays. It proceeds with the dramas\u27 key motives, which motivate main characters in their actions, especially the ditched witch Medea to murder her two children
