An ancient Greek tragic playwright (480-406 BCE), one of the three most celebrated writers of Greek drama, known for humanizing characters and questioning social norms.

Euripides wrote over 90 plays in his lifetime, but only 19 survive—and those 19 still make modern audiences gasp at how modern his psychology feels!
