Euripides (~480-406 BC) - Ranked with Aeschylus and Sophocles as one of the
greatest Greek dramatists, he enjoyed the least success of the three. Known
even by the ancients as "the philosopher of the stage," he is admired today
for his belief in the individual and his keen insight into the human psyche.
Cyclops (423 BC) - The only satyr play to survive from ancient times, it is
the story of Silenus and his sons' enslavement by the Cyclops, Polyphemus.
The Greek sea captain Odysseus arrives and barters with Silenus.
