A Modern Response to Euripides\u2019 The Medea<\/p>\n
Jason messed with the wrong Corinthian
\nin that ancient play about the dangerously
\npissed off Medea, the \u201cX\u201d of your nightmares.
\nJason starts knockin\u2019 boots with Creon\u2019s
\ndaughter, a genuine princess with a royal
\nbank account balance. Jason up and leaves
\nMedea and his own babies behind to
\nmarry that spoiled brat of a princess so
\nhe could hook it up with King Creon\u2019s
\npower and financial means of success.
\nWell, the shit started gettin\u2019 real when Medea
\nset the plan in motion to take out the royalty
\nand her own two boys of tender age to boot.
\nThat girl was straight trippin\u2019–wouldn\u2019t hear
\nanything the sisters had to say bout
\ndoin\u2019 the right and ladylike thing.
\nMedea was straight out of her head when
\nshe poisoned the princess and the king,
\nand murdered her own flesh and blood–
\ntwo snot-nosed little brothers with smart mouths.
\nThen, just to make sure those missing marbles was a lost cause,
\nshe scooped up the kids\u2019 dead bodies
\nand took them with her to God knows where
\njust so that rotten Jason couldn\u2019t have \u2018em.
\nLord, if that ain\u2019t a revenge tale for the ages.
\nChicks and dudes been lovin\u2019 each other to death
\nsince at least 431 B.C., huh?
\nThat\u2019s some crazy ass shit right there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
