In every era, what feeds and builds comedy is exaggeration! The exaggeration in “The Women of Thebes,” which was performed at the Great Dionysia of 411 BC, is Euripides' misogyny!
So, we are dealing with satire aimed at a person, and surely this is the most undeniable testimony to the dimensions of the personality and work of the tragic poet! Euripides — like Aristophanes — saw the cracks in the classical edifice of ancient Greece!
However, the solutions he proposed did not agree with the views of the comic playwright, which was “the return to the heroic and simple era of Aeschylus”! Thus, Aristophanes was always seeking opportunities to direct his arrows against the last of the three great tragedians!
