Excerpt from The Greek Tragic Theatre, Vol. 1 of 5: Containing ???chylus by Dr. Potter, Sophocles by Dr. Francklin, and Euripiedes by Mich. Wodhull, Esq. Euripides was born in the island of Salamis, in the seventy-fifth Olympiad; his parents Mue sarchus and Clito having retired thither from Athens at the time that city was menaced by the powerful armament of Xerxes. Historians are by no means agreed as to the rank of our Poet's Father and Mother: the proofs which some en deavour to adduce of their nobility do not appear by any means convincing; and if we admit the oracle of Apollo to have been consulted by them during the pregnancy of Clito, in regard to the fortunes of their future Child, as an' attention to the voice of soothsayers is by no means peculiar to those of high birth or affluence, it might be too precipitate to conclude from thence, with Bayle, either that her station in life was superior to that of an herb-woman, or that the distressed circumstances of her Husband were not among his principal motives for changing the place of his abode. But whatever may have been the rank or occupation of Mnesarchus and Clit'a, they appear to have possessed the honourable title of free-born citizens of Athens.
