It Happened in History! (Go to It Happened in History Archives Euripides September 23 is the day on which Greece celebrates the birthday of tragic poet, Euripides, who is thought to have been born in Athens in 480 B.C. His mother's name was Cleito, and his father was either Mnesarchus or Mnesarchides. One story has it that Cleito earned an income by selling herbs in the marketplace, which comedic writer Aristophanes used as the source for humor in his plays. But most historians believe that Euripides' family was well off financially, and his mother wouldn't have needed such a source of income. Of the three Greek dramatists whose tragedies survived the ages, the greatest number belong to Euripides. He wrote at least 92 plays that have been documented throughout the ages, only 18 of which have been preserved in their entirety. Not much is known about the life of Euripides except that when he was in his twenties, he started submitting his tragedies to various competitions. His first play won a third-place award, and four of his plays won first place. But he fell far short of the leader in that category. Aeschylus' plays won first place 13 times, and Sophocles' holds the record with 18 first-place awards. From his plays, we know that Euripides was very skeptical about Greek religion, and he is thought to have associated with various Sophists, as well as with Socrates. He took a wife, named Melito, and together they had three sons.

HIPPOLYTUS A monologue from the play by Euripides NOTE: This monologue is reprinted from The Plays of Euripides in English, vol. ii NURSE: O queen, at first, an instantaneous shock, I, from the history of thy woes, received: Now am I sensible my fears were groundless. But frequently the second thoughts of man Are more discreet; for there is nothing strange Nought, in thy sufferings, foreign to the course Of nature: thee the goddess in her rage Invades. Thou lov'st. And why should this surprise? Many as well as thee have done the same. Art thou resolved to cast thy life away Because thou lov'st? How wretched were the state Of those who love, and shall hereafter love, If death must thence ensue! For though too strong To be withstood, when she with all her might Assails us, Venus gently visits those Who yield; but if she light on one who soars With proud and overweening views too high, As thou mayst well conceive, to utter scorn Such she exposes; through the boundless tracts Of air she glides, and reigns 'midst ocean's waves:

To the Greeks this god personified both spring and the vintage, the latter a very important time of year in a vine-growing country, and he was a symbol to them of that power there is in man of rising out of himself, of being impelled onwards by a joy within him that he cannot explain, but which makes him go forward, walking, as it were, on the wings of the wind, of the spirit that fills him with a deep sense of worship.

THE BACCHAE A monologue from the play by Euripides NOTE: This monologue is reprinted from The Plays of Euripides in English, vol. ii TIRESIAS: 'Tis easy to be eloquent, for him That's skilled in speech, and hath a stirring theme. Thou hast the flowing tongue as of a wise man, But there's no wisdom in thy fluent words; For the bold demagogue, powerful in speech, Is but a dangerous citizen lacking sense. This the new deity thou laugh'st to scorn, I may not say how mighty he will be Throughout all Hellas. Youth! there are two things Man's primal need, Demeter, the boon Goddess (Or rather will ye call her Mother Earth?), With solid food maintains the race of man. He, on the other hand, the son of Semele, Found out the grape's rich juice, and taught us mortals That which beguiles the miserable of mankind Of sorrow, when they quaff the vine's rich stream. Sleep too, and drowsy oblivion of care He gives, all-healing medicine of our woes. He 'mong the gods is worshipped a great god, Author confessed to man of such rich blessings Him dost thou love to scorn, as in Jove's thigh

MEDEA A monologue from the play by Euripides NOTE: This monologue is reprinted from The Plays of Euripides in English, vol. ii MEDEA: O my sons! My sons! ye have a city and a house Where, leaving hapless me behind, without A mother ye for ever shall reside. But I to other realms an exile go, Ere any help from you I could derive, Or see you blest; the hymeneal pomp, The bride, the genial couch, for you adorn, And in these hands the kindled torch sustain. How wretched am I through my own perverseness! You, O my sons, I then in vain have nurtured, In vain have toiled, and, wasted with fatigue, Suffered the pregnant matron's grievous throes. On you, in my afflictions, many hopes I founded erst: that ye with pious care Would foster my old age, and on the bier Extend me after deathmuch envied lot Of mortals; but these pleasing anxious thoughts Are vanished now; for, losing you, a life Of bitterness and anguish shall I lead. But as for you, my sons, with those dear eyes Fated no more your mother to behold

33. EURIPIDES Brief biography of Greek playwright, euripides. http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/people_n2/persons2_n2/euripides.html

EURIPIDES c.480 - 406 BC Greek Playwright Euripides was the youngest of Athens' three greatest tragic poets. He altered the content of the epics by lessening the heroic image and he became a percursor of bourgeois drama. Euripides was the most revolutionary of the Greek tragedians. The early poets still shared the traditional beliefs with the majority of their audiences, but a younger man, like Euripides, who was influenced by the free-thinking spirit of his time, no longer believed in the power of a god like Dionysus, whose festival he, as a tragic poet, was required to celebrate. Euripides solved his dilemna by presenting his plot in a way that implicitly contradicted the many answers his divine messengers provided for the difficulties of life. Of the 90 plays he wrote, 18 tragedies survive. See connection story: From Dionysus to Aristotle www link : Biography

35. Hippolytus Summary and analysis of the play by euripides. http://www.theatrehistory.com/ancient/bates020.html

HIPPOLYTUS A summary and analysis of the play by Euripides This document was originally published in The Drama: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization, vol. 1 . ed. Alfred Bates. London: Historical Publishing Company, 1906. pp. 70-78. Of the extant plays of Euripides , the Hippolytus , which took the first prize at its reproduction in 428 B.C., deserves the highest place. In the prologue, Aphrodite declares herself resolved to punish the chaste Hippolytus, son of Theseus, who disdains her and pays his worship to Artemis. With this design she has put into the heart of Phaedra, the wife of Theseus, a love for her stepson. This Theseus will learn, and then will destroy his son by one of three fatal wishes which Poseidon has promised to fulfill. This will involve the ruin of Phaedra too, but for that there is no help, the goddess caring first for her honor and herself. Presently Hippolytus enters; he lauds his lady Artemis and consecrates to her a garland. An attendant suggests that he should in like manner honor Aphrodite, whose statue also stands at the entrance to the palace. Hippolytus, deaf to advice, persists in ignoring the goddess, and therein lies his offense. When he has left the stage the love-sick Phaedra enters with her nurse, to whom, with great difficulty, she is induced to make confession, declaring to the chorus her resolve to die. Meantime the nurse seeks to comfort her, and bids her give her love free course, rather than let herself be consumed by an inexpressible woe. She promises to aid her, but gives no details of the plan. Phaedra anxiously enjoins her in no case to tell the truth to Hippolytus; but she evades the question and hurries away into the house where Hippolytus lives. The unhappy Phaedra remains behind, but soon learns from the tumult within that the nurse has betrayed her secret and that Hippolytus has received the disclosure with horror and dismay. He comes out with the nurse, and bursts into loud imprecations on the female sex. Phaedra sees that the misplaced zeal of the nurse has ruined all; she covers her with reproaches, and again resolves to die. Her resolution is instantly fulfilled.

Home Theatre Links Advertise Here Email Us Hippolytus A synopsis of the play by Euripides This article was originally published in Minute History of the Drama For some months past, Phaedra, beloved wife of Theseus, has hidden in her inmost heart a secret passion for the manly Hippolytus. Through unsatiated desire and secret shame she has wasted away until her old nurse despairs of her life. Finally, after much coaxing, the old nurse learns her secret. On pretense of making a love-philter that will cure Phaedra of her unholy love, the nurse confesses her mistress' secret to Hippolytus. The latter in anger scorns and upbraids Phaedra. Only his oath of secrecy given to the nurse, he admits, keeps him from confessing his step-mother's shame to the King as soon as His Majesty returns. Phaedra, in her half-crazed state, scarcely heeds him. She sees honor gone and her life ruined through her old servant's mistaken kindness, for she really believes that Hippolytus means to tell the King. In despair she hangs herself. Before the dread deed, however, she has written on her tablet, sealed with a royal seal, the charge that Hippolytus has dishonored her. On the King's arrival the first thing he notes is the tablet fastened to his dead wife's wrist. Grief-stricken, he opens it believing that it will contain some final directions for the care of their children, only to be shocked by the terrible accusation against Hippolytus.

The Bacchae A summary and analysis of the play by Euripides In the Bacchae , Pentheus, king of Thebes, seeks to put down the new worship of Dionysus, which is turning the heads of his female subjects. The offended god persuades him to dress himself in the garb of a Bacchante, that he may pry into the sacred mysteries. Then, disguised as a stranger, he leads him to the mountains, and placing him on the topmost branch of a tall pine, delivers him into the hands of the Maenads, the female devotees of Bacchus, who tear him limb from limb. A slave, who had accompanied the king, thus in part tells the story: A voice, The voice of Dionysus, seemingly, Was heard from heaven: "Lo, I have brought," he said, "Maidens, the man who mocks at you and me And at my mysteries; take your revenge." Thus as he spake, he made o'er earth and sky To spread a fiery blaze of awful light. Silence was in the heavens, in the green glen
