In this first volume, some of the prominent plays featured are likely to include "Medea", "Hippolytus", and "The Bacchae", which represent a wide range of themes, from revenge and betrayal to divine retribution and human suffering. Euripides is noted for his focus on the psychological and emotional dimensions of his characters, often depicting them as struggling with moral dilemmas, intense passions, and the consequences of their actions."Medea" tells the story of a woman scorned by her husband, Jason, and her vengeful acts of brutality in response to his betrayal. "Hippolytus" explores themes of chastity, desire, and the destructive power of unchecked emotions, particularly in the tragic conflict between the goddess Aphrodite and the virtuous Hippolytus. In "The Bacchae", Euripides examines the tension between order and chaos, the conflict between reason and instinct, and the consequences of resisting divine power, with the god Dionysus at the center of the drama.

Euripides

Euripides (c.485-07 BC) was an Athenian born into a family of considerable rank. Disdaining the public duties expected of him, Euripides spent a life of quiet introspection, spending much of his life in a cave on Salamis.

Late in life he voluntarily exiled himself to the court of Archelaus, King of Macedon, where he wrote The Bacchae, regarded by many as his greatest work. Euripides is thought to have written 92 plays, only 18 of which survive.
