Summary/Abstract: Of the three great Greek tragedians, Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, Euripides is the only one whose work was not deeply damaged by time. Of the 92 plays that belong to him, there have survived 18 tragedies, one satirical drama, and various fragments from other works. Most of the subjects Euripides approaches belong to the fabulous history of Athens, while also keeping themes from the epic cycles of the old epics, but without making them his preferred subject. When he tackles them, he practices almost total freedom.
