Description

Description

This volume is the second of two volumes that includes the work of Euripides in the series "Translated Authors of Ancient Greek Literature".

Euripides is the great poet of tragedies who completes the trio of "tragic" poets of ancient Greek literature alongside Aeschylus and Sophocles. He is the youngest of the three; he competed with them and with other dramatic poets and has his "distinct differences" from his contemporaries. He presents the characters of his works realistically, highlighting the measurable function of humans by combining the references to their positive and negative traits, depicting the functioning of life as it was.

In antiquity, his work was greatly valued for the many graces of his poetic function. He was characterized as a "philosopher from the stage," because in his works, both main and secondary characters express philosophical reflections. His works form a human gallery, serving as a timeless legacy that provides many opportunities for contemplation.
