21. Euripedes euripides with all his faults the most tragic of the poets, said euripides is the saddest of the poets and for that very reason not the most tragic. http://www.english.emory.edu/DRAMA/Euripedes.html

Euripedes from The Greek Way by Edith Hamilton EURIPIDES "with all his faults the most tragic of the poets," said Aristotle, supreme among critics, whose claim to pronounce ever the final verdict has only of late been called into question. His judgment here points the latter-day attitude toward him: the great critic was wrong; he confused sadness and tragedy. Euripides is the saddest of the poets and for that very reason not the most tragic. A very great tragedian, beyond all question, one of the world's four greatest, to all of whom belongs that strangest power, so to present the spectacle of pain that we are lifted to what we truly call the height of tragedy. Euripides can indeed walk "those heights exalted" but the dark depths of pain are what he knows best. He is "the poet of the world's grief." He feels, as no other writer has felt, the pitifulness of human life, as of children suffering helplessly what they do not know and can never understand. No poet's ear has ever been so sensitively attuned as his to the still, sad music of humanity, a strain little heeded by that world of long ago. And together with that, something then even more unheeded, the sense of the value of each individual human being. He alone of all the classic world so felt. It is an amazing phenomenon. Out of the pages written more than twenty-three hundred years ago sound the two notes which we feel are the dominants in our world to-day, sympathy with suffering and the conviction of the worth of everyone alive. A poet of the antique world speaks to us and we hear what seems peculiarly our own.

Topics Home Catalog African Age of Reason ... Sophocles Euripides Plato Virgil Ovid Procopius ... Classics The Dramas of Euripides Euripides was born in Salamis in 480 B.C.E. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles he was one of the three leading ancient writers of tragic plays. Very little is known about his personal life; it is belived that he came from a wealthy family and was politically active. Euripides left Athens in 408 B.C.E. and took up residence in Macedonia under the sponsorship of its king; he died shortly thereafter. He did not win as many competitions as Aeschylus or Sophocles, and was used as a running joke in Aristophanes' plays, where he appears as a satirical character. However his dramas became more popular than the other two 'immortals' as time went by. His greatest works are Alcestis Medea Electra and The Bacchae The Trojan Women translated by Gilbert Murray [1915] transcribed by Eliza at sacredspiral.com . Thanks Eliza!

Table of Contents Aristotle's Poetics Bacchae Production The setting of the Bacchae , as in the case of most Greek tragedies, does not require a change of scene Throughout the play the skene with at least one door represents the facade of the royal palace of Thebes Even when the poet shifts the audience's attention from the palace to events in the woods, there is no shift of scene These events are described in two speeches delivered by messengers and one by an attendant rather than enacted before the audience (434-450;677-774; 1043-1152). Even when action takes place inside the palace, as in the case of Dionysus humiliation of Pentheus (610-641), there is no shift of scene, but the god himself narrates this interior action to the Chorus The Messenger speech eliminates the need for scene changes, which, due to the limited resources of the ancient theater, would have been difficult and awkward In addition, these four speeches describe actions which could not be effectively portrayed on-stage Euripides , however, like Aeschylus and Sophocles , made a virtue of the necessity of this convention of the ancient theater by writing elaborate Messenger speeches which provide a vivid word picture of the offstage action.

Chr. oder 484 v. Chr. in Salamis; † 406 v. Chr. in Pella; begraben in Makedonien) ist einer der groŸen klassischen griechischen Dichter Euripides Euripides ist der letzte der groŸen griechischen Trag¶diendichter , zu denen neben ihm Aischylos und Sophokles gez¤hlt werden. Von seinen etwa 90 St¼cken sind 18 (bzw. 19) in zwei Gruppen ¼berliefert: In den ausgew¤hlten Werken und in den alphabetischen Werken . Erstere waren in der Antike beliebt und wurden h¤ufig kopiert; letztere bilden den Teil eines alphabetischen Gesamtwerkes, das uns nur unter den Buchstaben Epsilon Eta Iota und Kappa erhalten geblieben ist. Euripides f¼hrte zwischen 455 bis 408 v. Chr. regelm¤Ÿig im tragischen Agon zu Athen Tetralogien auf (eine Trag¶dien-Trilogie und ein Satyrspiel eher grotesken Charakters). Das erste aufgef¼hrte St¼ck hieŸ „Die Peliaden“, mit welchem Euripides den 3. Platz belegte. Sein erster Sieg f¤llt in das Jahr 441 v. Chr. Im Jahre 428 v. Chr. siegte er mit dem erhalten gebliebenen „Hippolytos“, der die Bearbeitung eines einige Jahre vorher aufgef¼hrten und heftig kritisierten Hippolytos-St¼ckes war. Insgesamt siegte er zu Lebzeiten viermal und mit einer postum aufgef¼hrten Tetralogie, zu welcher das ber¼hmte St¼ck „ Die Bakchen “ geh¶rt.
