«Tragedias II» is the collection of tragedies by Eurípides, published by Biblioteca Básica Gredos in hardcover, in Spanish.
The volume brings together five tragedies by Eurípides: Heracles, Ion, The Trojan Women, Electra and Iphigenia among the Taurians. They are classical theater plays that recreate Greek myths and show heroes and gods confronted with fate and with decisions that push them to the limit.
Published in 1985, it is the second volume of the tragedies by Eurípides in the Biblioteca Básica Gredos collection.
For readers of classical literature interested in ancient Greek theater and in the tragedies by Eurípides.
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.
