In this paper, I try to approach the archetype of the wild woman from two characters, one from the classical literary tradition and the other from the oral literary tradition. The first is Medea, a character from the Hellenistic epic Argonautica, by the Alexandrian poet Apollonius of Rhodes. The second is Juliana, a character from the traditional Iberian ballad Juliana, sung by the informer Dona Maria, from the municipality of Santa Rosa de Lima / Sergipe, and published by the folklorist Jackson da Silva Lima in her Romanceiro Sergipano. The intertextual reading of the two poems aims to show how the archetype of the wild woman is configured in each of them and what are the implications of this configuration in the compared text messages. As theoretical support, the approach is based on the philosophical, philological, historical and psychological reflections, among others, of the following authors: Ana Alexandra Alves de Sousa, Rachel Gazolla, Marco Zingano, Donald Schüler, Salvatore D’Onofrio e Clarissa Pinkola Estés.
