This was because his progressive ideas often angered the conservative judges, while he was admired by younger audiences, earning him the title of the \u201cbeloved tragic poet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But what were Euripides\u2019 innovations? First, the lengthy prologues, used to narrate the backstory instead of relying solely on dialogue. Next, the introduction of the \u201cdeus ex machina\u201d technique, in which a god would appear, often flying, to resolve the complex plots of the tragedies. Finally, his language was notably elegant, admired even by his critics, and his works contained philosophical teachings, earning him the title of \u201cphilosopher on the stage.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Euripides stands apart from Aeschylus and Sophocles in his depiction of realism, avoiding supernatural or idealized elements and thus serving as a mirror of his time. Additionally, due to the lack of deep religiosity in his works, he was accused of atheism. The issues that concerned him included human rights, the position of women, and the use of violence.  <\/p>\n<p>He has been described by Aristotle as the \u201cmost tragic of all poets.\u201d This is because he shifts the tragic conflict from the external to the internal level. While in other poets the heroes struggle against supernatural forces, such as Fate, and ultimately succumb, Euripides highlights the inner life of his heroes, portraying them with reason, duty, and even conflicting desires.  <\/p>\n<p>The \u201cEuripides\u201d series, which includes the original ancient text, modern Greek translation, and commentary, consists of 27 volumes. Specifically, it includes: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cyclops<\/li>\n<li>Rhesus<\/li>\n<li>Hecuba<\/li>\n<li>Heracleidae<\/li>\n<li>Troads<\/li>\n<li>Suppliants<\/li>\n<li>Andromache<\/li>\n<li>\u0386\u03bb\u03ba\u03b7\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03c2<\/li>\n<li>Cretans<\/li>\n<li>Medea<\/li>\n<li>Iphigenia in Tauris<\/li>\n<li>Electra<\/li>\n<li>Heracles Furens<\/li>\n<li>Helen<\/li>\n<li>Ion<\/li>\n<li>Hippolytus<\/li>\n<li>Hypsipyle<\/li>\n<li>Iphigenia in Aulis<\/li>\n<li>Orestes<\/li>\n<li>Phoenissae<\/li>\n<li>Bacchae<\/li>\n<li>Fragments 1<\/li>\n<li>Fragments 2<\/li>\n<li>Fragments 3<\/li>\n<li>Fragments 4<\/li>\n<li>Fragments 5<\/li>\n<li>Fragments 6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The complete surviving works of Euripides, whom Aristotle called the most tragic of poets, in 27 volumes, including all his major plays as well as rare fragments of works that are now lost.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7459,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[11921,11973,11961,11943,11949,11957],"product_tag":[12078],"class_list":["post-503406","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-ancient-greek-literature","product_cat-collections","product_cat-collections-bundles","product_cat-large-series","product_cat-poetry-en-2","product_cat-tragedy","product_tag-vakches","first","instock","sale","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
