Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(6 pp). The question posed for our discussion is
how adultery leads to murder in Greek tragedies.
Yet it seems that an important component has been
left out of the equation: it is attitude on the
part of the male, which leads to his murder, as

through adultery. Consequently we will examine
three Greek tragedies, Medea, Women of Trachis and
Agamemnon; to decipher the attitudes of the males
involved, and see if it influences their wives rage. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

needed to take a new wife, for a stronger political alliance. Hello! Jason definitely has an "attitude." He did not say, "Honey I think we are really

publicly proceeding; she fears for her reputation (line 218), and the reaction of her enemies (lines 20,26,405). Jason has made pledges to her, and now he has broken them.
Women of Trachis We could say that this play by Sophocles, shows the "bad boy" side of Hercules. Without the knowledge of his wife, Herc has been trying to get
