Un récit mythique renversé, féministe et furieusement contemporain Elle a tout donné par amour. Elle a tout perdu par trahison. De princesse à magicienne, d'héroïne à monstre, plongez dans l'histoire de Médée, sorcière mythique trompée par les hommes.

Certains monstres sont tout simplement de jeunes filles qui n'ont pas eu de chance. C'est le cas de Méduse. Violée par Poséidon, injustement punie par Athéna, c'est par la faute des dieux qu'elle fut changée en créature hideuse, aux cheveux de serpents et au regard pétrifiant. Mais que sait-on de son cœur, sinon le récit qu'en a rapporté Persée, le héros qui l'a décapitée pour assouvir sa soif de gloire ? Et si le monstre n'était finalement pas celui que l'Histoire retient ?

Troie est tombée. Par-delà le ciel et les océans, la guerre aura détruit la vie de toutes les femmes. Les Troyennes dont le sort repose entre les mains des guerriers grecs.
