Euripides

Euripides was an ancient Greek playwright, one of the three great tragedians whose works have survived, alongside Aeschylus and Sophocles. He lived from about 480 to 406 BCE and is known for his innovative and often controversial approach to tragedy. Euripides focused on the emotional and psychological depths of his characters, often depicting strong women and challenging traditional social norms. His plays, including "Medea" and "The Trojan Women," explore themes of love, revenge, and the human condition, making his work both relevant and thought-provoking even today. His influence can be seen in later drama and literature.
