| | Ancient History Sourcebook: 11th Brittanica: Euripides |
 | | It is because Euripides was not in accord with the spirit of the heroic myths that he is not strong in mythic travesty. | | | The historical interest of such a life as that of Euripides consists in the very fact that its external record is so scanty-that, unlike Aeschylus or Sophocles, he had no place in the public action of his time, but dwelt apart as a student and a thinker. | | | The drama of Euripides necessarily suggests a comparison with that of Goethe; and many readers will probably also feel that, while Goethe is certainly not inferior in fineness of ethical portraiture he has the advantage in his management of the catastrophe. |

| | This play reflects a strong condemnation of useless war, particularly the vindictive victories that kill all the men and enslave the women. | | | Scholars speculate on which parts of the play may have been finished by his son or others. | | | Aeschylus then brags that The Seven Against Thebes made people hunger for havoc and gore, but Dionysus points out it made the Thebans more warlike. |

| | Classical Period - Politics |
| | Euripides was creating his plays amid the chaos brought on by Athenian policy during the Peloponnesian war. | | | Typical was the prologue in the form of a monologue, serving to orient the viewer to the antecedents of the action, and to indicate what liberties the playwright was about to take with the myth. | | | As a sharp-eyed observer and a citizen with an affection for his city, he was critical of political action throughout the war. |

| | Although there is a story that he left Athens embittered over his defeats, there is no real evidence to support it. | | | According to legend, Euripides was born in Salamís on September 23 480 BCE | | | Anaxagorus, for example, maintained that the sun was not a golden chariot steered across the sky by some elusive god, but rather a fiery mass of earth or stone; exposure to such ideas led Euripides to question the religion he grew up with. |

| | In this regard Euripides is often said to have brought tragedy down to earth. | | | Euripides is equally interested in society's failings, in "man's injustice to man." Often the individual character's plight will be presented in such a way as to highlight inequities in Greek/Athenian society or politics and to question the status quo. | | | Hippolytus was the son of the Athenian king, Theseus, and the Amazon queen Antiope (or Hippolyte or Melanippe — the traditions vary on this and other points to follow). |

| | More than once, he had been held up to public ridicule by the tart-tongued comedian Aristophanes. | | | Euripides' greatest play was perhaps the Bacchae, which he wrote in his last hours. | | | Nonetheless, Euripides' image of a veiled god in human form, condemned before a earthly magistrate, vindicated by a manifestation of divine power, was a literary theme which would be taken up by later religions. |

| | Euripides took his plots from the same general source as the other Greek dramatists. | | | Such were the stories of the heroes Bellerophon and Phaëthon, which were treated dramatically for the first time by Euripides. | | | Euripides has also been criticized for using the explanatory prologue, in which he makes known to the spectators the events that precede the opening of the play and often outlines coming events. |

| | The last years of Euripides were passed in Magnesia and in Macedonia, where he was the guest of Archelaus, though the motive for his self-exile cannot be clearly ascertained. | | | Euripides was a voluminous writer, the number of his plays being variously stated at from seventy-five to ninety-two, including several satyric dramas. | | | Diphilus called him the "Golden Euripides," and Philemon went so far as to say, with some extravagance, "If the dead, as some assert, have really consciousness, then would I hang myself to see Euripides." He had warm admirers in Alexander the Great and the Stoic Chrysippus, who quoted him regularly in several of his works. |

| | EURIPIDES "with all his faults the most tragic of the poets," said Aristotle, supreme among critics, whose claim to pronounce ever the final verdict has only of late been called into question. | | | Euripides' assaults upon the superstructure of religion were forgotten; what men remembered and came to him for was the pitying understanding of their own suffering selves in a strange world of pain, and the courage to tear down old wrongs and never give up seeking for new things that should be good. | | | Always those in the vanguard of their time find in Euripides an expression of their own spirit. |

| | Euripides solved his dilemna by presenting his plot in a way that implicitly contradicted the many answers his divine messengers provided for the difficulties of life. | | | Euripides was the most revolutionary of the Greek tragedians. | | | The early poets still shared the traditional beliefs with the majority of their audiences, but a younger man, like Euripides, who was influenced by the free-thinking spirit of his time, no longer believed in the power of a god like Dionysus, whose festival he, as a tragic poet, was required to celebrate. |
