For this version of Medea, Muller has shuffled and tightly condensed fragments of texts written by Euripide and Seneca with moments of dream, automatic writing and free association between modern landscapes and scenes from the myth. The result of the text, written in a period dated between 1950 and 1980, consists of three parts: Landscape with Argonauts, Riva abandoned and Materials for Medea.
It is central in this reinterpretation of the legend of Jason, the expedition of the Argonauts and the tragedy of Medea, next to the theme of betrayal, that of war (military and commercial) of conquest and colonization.
