This book brings together three of the most important tragedies by the Greek playwright Euripides: Alcestis, Medea, and Hippolytus. These works explore universal themes such as love, revenge, honor, and destiny, presenting complex characters and extreme situations that invite reflection on the human condition. This edition includes a translation and introduction by Antonio Guzmán Guerra, professor of Greek philology.
Euripides was a Greek tragedian of classical Athens. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three authors of Greek tragedy whose name is ascribed to surviving plays. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him, but the Suda says it was ninety-two at most. Nineteen plays attributed to Euripides have survived more or less complete, although one of these (Rhesus) is often considered not to be genuinely his work. Many fragments survive from most of his other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined: he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes, and Menander.
