Raging Misogynist or Original Social Justice Warrior? The Murky Life of Euripides

Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold - Podcast autorstwa Liv Albert and iHeartPodcasts

We have more of Euripides' work than either of the other tragedians combined and yet the details of his life, him as a real person composing real art, are frustratingly lacking. And when they're not lacking, they're often just slander or wild misunderstandings of history. Today we begin looking at the life and times of Euripides, the first BEST playwright. CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
