Stasimon 5

Question 1

the feminist voice is now silenced

Answer 1

often I have traced subtler thoughts and confronted greater dilemmas than the female sex ought to explore (the feminist voice is now muted)

Question 2

having no children is good

Answer 2

Mortals who have not had children as they don’t discover whether the children proved a delight in the end, win great happiness (the chorus is extremely pessimistic)

Question 3

What’s the worst ill

Answer 3

All the troubles experienced with raising children, but the worst is when they are grown to the fullness of youth and then die
(is it maybe good what Medea is doing)
