Euripides
485 - 406
Ancient Greek tragedian who concentrated on the exploration of psychological situations of ordinary characters.
Euripides is one of the three well known Greek tragedians but his work differs quite markedly from his contemporary counterparts. Rather than presenting elaborately constructed plots, he focused on the psychological dilemmas of ordinary citizens.
Euripides is famous for the simple yet energetic poetic tone that perpetuates his work.
