The first playwright of democracy; Euripides wrote with enduring insight and biting satire about social and political problems of Athenian life. In contrast to his contemporaries; he brought an exciting--and; to the Greeks; a stunning--realism to the "pure and noble form" of tragedy. For the first time in history; heroes and heroines on the stage were not idealized: as Sophocles himself said; Euripides shows people not as they ought to be; but as they actually are.
