Immerse yourself in Greek tragedy with 'The Phoenician Women,' a work by Euripides that explores the fate of the royal family of Thebes during the war between Oedipus' sons. This edition, published in 2006 by Carmen Vilela, offers a poignant perspective on conflict, duty, and despair. Ideal for students of classical literature and theater lovers.
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.
