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.
Iphigenia at Aulis (405 BC) - Agamemnon is told his daughter must be
sacrificed in order to save the Greeks who are trapped in the Harbor of
Aulis. One of Euripides' latest works which was probably left unfinished.
