Description & Specifications

The fragments from the works of Euripides that have not been preserved intact: Thespians, Theseus, Thyestes, Cressus, Melanippe, etc. Euripides (480-406 BC) was from the Athenian deme of Phlya. He attended the teachings of Anaxagoras, Protagoras, and Gorgias, and was friendly with Socrates.

For the first time, he participated in a dramatic contest in 455, and from then on he taught regularly until his death. A rather introverted and strict man, he was not fortunate in his personal life. In his later years, he settled in Macedonia, invited by King Archelaus, and there he died.

His work reflects the atmosphere of the time, with the strong influence of Sophism, the questioning, and the search for the divine and the human. Euripides, the 'philosopher from the stage,' depicted the tragic nature of internal conflicts and uniquely expressed the variety of emotional passions and the fluctuations of consciousness.

His innovations, in the form of works and the ideas he expressed, often made him a target of attacks. Nineteen of his plays are preserved complete along with many fragments.
