The Dramatic Conception of Euripides' Work
The Dramatic Conception of Euripides' Work

Summary/Abstract: Greek tragedy has seen many series of poets and attempts at plays, but the quality of the inventor of tragedy is attributed to Thespis. Although Thespis is the most important representative of his generation, his works have not been preserved, not even fragments. Euripides is the third representative of classical Greek tragedy. Although almost contemporary with Aeschylus and Sophocles, if we make a comparison between their works, we discover different styles, which seem to be from different generations. Euripides is closest to contemporary sensibility. Euripides treats in his dramatic art both the very conception of action and its scenic treatment. The heroes of his work struggle with themselves, or rather, with beginnings of their human nature.
