This volume is the second of two volumes that include the works 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 Greece along with Aeschylus and Sophocles. He is the youngest of the three; he competed with them and other dramatic poets and has his "noteworthy differences" from his contemporaries.
He presents the characters of his works realistically, highlighting the measurable function of man by combining the positive and negative aspects of their personalities, depicting the functioning of life as it was. In antiquity, his work was highly valued for the many graces of his poetic function. He was described as “a philosopher from the stage” because the characters in his works, both primary and secondary, express philosophical reflections.
His works form a human gallery, serve as a timeless legacy, and provide many opportunities for contemplation.
