Synopsis

Euripides was one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens, the other two being Aeschylus and Sophocles. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him, of these, eighteen or nineteen have survived complete. Euripides is identified with theatrical innovations that have profoundly influenced drama down to modern times, especially in the representation of traditional, mythical heroes as ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Euripides (c. 480-406 BCE) was one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens, alongside Aeschylus and Sophocles. His surviving plays are central to ancient Greek literature, classical drama, Greek tragedy, mythology, and the history of theatre. Known for psychological intensity, rhetorical force, unconventional dramatic structure, and searching treatment of women, outsiders, families, gods, and human suffering, Euripides brought a distinctive sceptical and emotionally complex voice to Athenian tragedy. His major works include Medea, Hippolytus, The Bacchae, The Trojan Women, Electra, Iphigenia in Aulis, and Alcestis. Long studied, translated, adapted, and performed, Euripides remains one of the essential authors for readers of classical literature, ancient drama, Greek mythology, and Western literary history.
