Ulitskaya's works dating from the second half of the twentieth century have earned more readers' admiration in the Western countries than in the author’s own country and have been rewarded by many foreign institutions. The Medici Prize (France), the Penne Prize (İtaly) and the Guisippe Acerbi award are some of them. In the literary works of Ulitskaya, a Jewish writer, there are no ideological subjects we are used to encounter in the works representing Russian literature. They refer to the certain themes and topics that have been universal throughout the course of humans’ history and everyday life. For this reason, her literary art is defined as "silent literature". The themes mainly deal with female figures belonging to different ethnic groups. However, it is notable that her female figures do not have feminist ideas. For this reason, her works are considered to have features of classical Russian literature. Another important characteristic of Ulitskaya's literary works is the presence of mythological elements in them. This feature, which attracts attention in the 20th century women's literature, can be defined as reinterpretation of mythological figures and events according to social conditions and needs. In the novel "Medea and her children" translated into Turkish, the presence of this feature is obvious. Medea, the main character whose name is used as the name of this novel, is thought to be a different interpretation of the Medea, Greek mythology figurine. Ulitskaya with the help of created Medea emphasizes importance of the family and the woman in the family needed in the 20th century Russian social life. There are some basic similarities between these two figures, but the main differences regarding life philosophy are striking. In this study, similarities and differences between the mythological Medaya figure and the novel hero Medea Mendes Sinopli are discussed.
