 This book examines the implications of Medea's murder of her children and attempts to establish the centrality of that act in Euripides' design. The author stresses the importance of trophe--the mutual bond of dependency between parent and child, between city-state and citizen--as a fundamental adhesive force in civilization, shockingly subverted by the playwright's presentation of a mother destroying her children
