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.
Phoenician Women (410 BC) - Similar in subject matter to Aeschylus' Seven
Against Thebes, and parts of Sophocles' Antigone, this is the longest extant
Greek drama. It is often called a complete retelling of the Oedipus myth.
