Euripedes is one of the greatest writers who ever lived. I took a greek civilizations class and I really loved his work. His work is fresh and exciting. Its hard to think this was written so long ago.
Euripedes used to come in last every year in a yearly festival in Greece. He shows that critics and judges so not always have taste for his works have with stood the test of time. The other writers, the ones who won, are lost to history.
Medea is the best of the collection. This work is femenist and daring. Today the original ending is changed due to the controversial message. The reaction to the original audience must have been more so. This is just a great work in general.
Euripedes is a true treat to read. He is the only writer who has a masterpeice in every work. All of his plays are perfect and beautiful in language.
