Euripides


Bust of Euripides: Neues Museum Berlin
Aristotle Poetics


[1458b] [20] For instance, Aeschylus and Euripides wrote the same iambic line with the change of one word only, a rare word in place of one made ordinary by custom, yet the one line seems beautiful and the other trivial. Aeschylus in the Philoctetes wrote, "The ulcer eats the flesh of this my foot," and Euripides instead of "eats" put "feasts upon."

[1460b] Sophocles said that he portrayed people as they ought to be and Euripides portrayed them as they are.

Euripides' plays manifest an Athenocentricism, praising Athenians' love of beauty, the grace of its citizens and its superior cultural life. He praises Athenian justice and its ancestral bloodlines. He even praises the intelligence of Athens' slaves, as advisers and tutors. Many are superior to those who are free.

In 431 BC it is estimated 300,000 persons lived in Athens, of which metics [immigrants] comprised 25,000 and slaves 100,000.

Euripides liked to set his plays in lands wherever the Greeks might go whether that was the central Greek landscapes with its cities and shrines or Egypt, Colchis, Thrace and Crimea. He liked to cast his tragedies with multi-ethnic characters: for example, eunuchs from Phrygia or Phoenicia on their way to Delphi and its Oracle.

Some see Euripides as the destroyer of the classical Greek tragic theatre that was Sophocles and Aeschylus. Others see that he incorporated radical innovations into its medium. He had several major themes: he seems seriously to have been against the follies of war;  many of his plays concern the injustices done to women; as far as the Greek religious experience is concerned he is utterly religiously sceptic, can that religion be reconciled in any way with the reality of human life.
