In Seneca, Medea, pars altera inaudita by the ‘judge’ Creon, hurts the trial procedure followed by the King of Corinth, who has passed a conviction of exile against her, identifying the crimen and related responsibility. Her oratio is based on the qualitas iuridicialis adsumptiva: in regard to Creon, Medea does not acknowledge the culpa and exalts the commoda obtained by him from her committed crimina (comparatio); by applying the principle of the cui prodest, Medea asserts that the culpa is of Jason, the real cause of her crimina (remotio criminis). Furthermore, the matter of the ‘reddere beneficium’ and of the gratitude for the ‘indirect’ benefits comes to light.

Abstract
In Seneca, Medea, pars altera inaudita by the ‘judge’ Creon, hurts the trial procedure followed by the King of Corinth, who has passed a conviction of exile against her, identifying the crimen and related responsibility. Her oratio is based on the qualitas iuridicialis adsumptiva: in regard to Creon, Medea does not acknowledge the culpa and exalts the commoda obtained by him from her committed crimina (comparatio); by applying the principle of the cui prodest, Medea asserts that the culpa is of Jason, the real cause of her crimina (remotio criminis). Furthermore, the matter of the ‘reddere beneficium’ and of the gratitude for the ‘indirect’ benefits comes to light.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
