Description: (One of the Most Famous Greek Tragedians)
Euripides, a tragedian of classical Athens, is one of the three ancient Greek playwrights whose complete plays have survived. Credited with around ninety plays, eighteen or nineteen have survived intact. Known for innovative theatrical techniques, he depicted traditional heroes as ordinary individuals facing extraordinary circumstances, exploring their inner lives and motives in unprecedented ways. His approach influenced drama for centuries, influencing later writers in both tragedy and comedy. Despite criticism for intellectualism, Euripides left a lasting impact on literary history.
