Benjamin explains her choice of "Medea" as a first name. She claims that Medea really did not kill her children.

It's freakin' story. Of course Medea killed her children, that what the author wrote.

She might was well call herself "Raven" because there really was no Raven in "The Raven" despite everything you read in "CLIFF NOTES" about it.

Raven? She's more of a loon.

Medea Benjamin claims that the Medea of the play was given a bum rap. Benjamin says that she had read an alternate translation in which Medea wasn't responsible for the death of her children. I immediately said, "let me guess, George Bush was responsible."

Benjamin probably just took the brown acid before she read it.
