AB  - This article takes a fresh look at the Médée by Étienne Azéma (1849), the first tragedy written by an author from Île Bourbon. Far from simply synthetizing classical (Euripides, Seneca) and modern sources (Corneille, Longepierre, Clément), the play—perhaps inspired by a true story—completely reinvents the legend’s traditional elements by placing the figure of Creusa center stage, and by revealing an astonishing intertextual relationship with Racine’s œuvre.
