Stereotype and Reversal in Euripides' Medea [Elektronische Daten] [Shirley A. Barlow] The plot of the Medea concerns infidelity, a woman discarded by her husband for another younger woman and a more ‘suitable' match. Infidelity by the husband was not an unusual occurrence amid the material of Greek myths. In Sophocles' play The Women of Trachis the heroine Deianeira, and wife of Heracles, must reluctantly take into her household Iole, a beautiful slave-girl whom her husband has taken as his concubine. Although she is made to give voice to her regret and to her jealousy, she has no thought of harming the girl or her husband. That Heracles is finally injured is not the result of an intentional act of revenge on her part but a mistake set in train by the malevolence of someone else.
