You're right. Euripides is magical and highly lovable. I rate him above any other writer of tragedy. I also wish he would know just how loved he is.

Crazy thing is that Euripides' Hippolytus is actually the second version of the play; cause the original one was perceived as too scandalous

I love Iphigenia in Tauris for being a heist play, essentially (and her being the mastermind behind it!), so would love to hear you tackle it! I also know basically nothing about the Children of Heracles, so a summary would be appreciated :)

Bravo Erica ! When Aeschylos was fighting in Marathon, Sophocles was a teen and Euripides was born, in Athenian island Salamis. My favorite plays, except for all, are Bacchai, Alkestis, Trojan Women, (Τρωάδες) You are doing fine ! A Greek friend, Nikephoros.

Euripides was born where the contemporary suburb of Chalandri is. Naturally several public buildings (plus a theater of course) are named after him. Also a large bookstore in the center of the municipality of Chalandri bears his name, frequented by me because it had a lot of sci-fi books.

Euripedes is one if my favorites not just of the Classical period, but of all time. Especially the Neil Curry translations. “Medea”, “The Trojan Women” (the film version w/ Katherine Hepburn, Vanessa Redgrave, & Irene Papas is really good also btw), and “Electra” are so good. I’m an “Iliad” Stan, so “The Trojan Women” might be my favorite, but “Medea” is just masterful. (And I never knew how to pronounce Iphigenia until I heard you say it today! It’s actually a very pretty name compared to the horrible mess I phonetically came up with! 😂)

I have a question: I've noticed that Briseis, despite being the inciting incident from the Iliad, just vanishes from the myth after the Iliad ends. Not even The Trojan Women mentions her. Why do you think that is?

Ah that's where Herge got his Sophocles Sarcophagus. Btw, Euripedes left Athens for Macedonia not because he was angry at not getting the literature Nobel of the day but in order to raise the trends that led to Alexander, whose father was Macedonian. So his loyalty was with Phaethon, even if he sort of insulted Phaethon to please the sophists (or not lose his life to them!).

Thank you for this video. I had the great good fortune to enjoy several performances of Yukio Ninagawa's production in Japanese translation of Euripides' "Medea" back in 1986. A fascinating all-male stage production that melded several performative traditions (especially Japanese traditions) while honouring the depth of Medea's character and the story told in the play. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4K7nKCIjsaab5Y
