| Summary | "Das goldene Vließ" by Franz Grillparzer is a dramatic work written in the early 19th century. This tragedy presents themes of love, betrayal, and vengeance through the lens of Greek mythology, primarily focusing on the story of Medea and her father Aietes, the king of Colchis. Medea, a pivotal character, experiences intense emotional turmoil as she navigates her father's ruthless ambition and her connection to the heroic Argonauts. The opening of "Das goldene Vließ" sets a dramatic tone with a rich scene in the wild setting of Colchis, featuring a ritual sacrifice led by Medea. The characters are introduced amidst the tension surrounding incoming foreign menaces represented by the Argonauts. Through a series of exchanges with her father, Aietes, and their servants, Medea’s complex nature is revealed: she exhibits both assertiveness and vulnerability as she strives for independence while feeling the weight of familial loyalty. As her father plans to confront the intruding heroes, clamoring for revenge for the death of Phryxus, the stage is set for conflict, showcasing the themes of power, family ties, and prophecy that will unfold throughout the drama.
