Euripides is an ancient Greek playwright, the largest (along with Aeschylus and Sophocles) representative of the classical Athenian tragedy. 17 tragedies and one satire drama have come down to us from Euripides. Almost all of the surviving plays were written by Euripides during the Peloponnesian War. During this period of strong social upheaval, belief in the old gods fluctuates, new trends in philosophy appear, and a number of new questions are raised and discussed. Euripides very vividly reflected in his work this turning point in Greek history. All burning issues of our time are touched upon by the playwright in his tragedies.
