ЯСОН В ТРАГЕДИИ СЕНЕКИ «МЕДЕЯ»: ПЛОХОЙ ИЛИ ХОРОШИЙ МУЖ, ОТЕЦ И НАСТАВНИК?
JASON IN SENECA’S MEDEA: A BAD OR A GOOD HUSBAND, FATHER AND MENTOR?

Summary/Abstract: Seneca’s tragedy is considered from the point of view of the intertextual relations with other Greek and Roman literary works, connected with the Corinthian history about Jason and Medea. Seneca represents a special view of the hierarchy of male virtues: Jason is a husband, a father and a mentor. The rage of Medea is ‘legalized,’ the reaction of Jason is depicted in the Stoic terms. The main characters of the tragedy are represented by the Roman writer in a pedagogical rather than a heroic posture: the adults seek to educate each other in the process of their conflict over custody of their children.
