Based upon Wolfgang Luppe's argument that Euripides wrote two dramas entitled Medea – in the first of which, now lost, Medea kills her children on the stage – this contribution identifies differences between the two versions of the play. It also deals with the question of visible and non-visible presentation of murder and acts of violence in Euripides' two Medeas and in other Athenian tragedies of the 5th century BC.
