Immerse yourself in the depth of classical Greek theater with 'Tragedies II' by Euripides. This second volume of the Biblioteca Clásica Gredos brings together six of the author's most impactful works: 'The Suppliants', 'Heracles', 'Ion', 'The Trojan Women', 'Electra' and 'Iphigenia among the Taurians'. Euripides, known for his humanistic and realistic approach to myth, offers a poetic and rational vision that continues to resonate today. This hardcover edition is a jewel for lovers of classical literature and universal theater.
Euripides was a Greek tragedian of classical Athens. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three authors of Greek tragedy whose name is ascribed to surviving plays. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him, but the Suda says it was ninety-two at most. Nineteen plays attributed to Euripides have survived more or less complete, although one of these (Rhesus) is often considered not to be genuinely his work. Many fragments survive from most of his other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined: he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes, and Menander.
