Iphigenia in Aulis

Euripides (c. 480-406 BC) was one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens, alongside Aeschylus and Sophocles. His plays are noted for their psychological insight, their focus on individual experience, and their willingness to question traditional values and mythic narratives. Among his surviving works are Medea, The Bacchae, and Hippolytus. Euripides's dramas continue to be central to the study of ancient literature and theatre.
