Euripides (c. 480–406 BCE) was an ancient Greek tragedian, one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens, along with Aeschylus and Sophocles. He is known for his plays Medea, The Bacchae, and Hippolytus, among others. He was born in Salamis, a small island off the coast of Athens, and was the son of Mnesarchus, a merchant. He was educated in Athens, and his first play was produced in 455 BCE. He wrote over ninety plays, of which nineteen have survived. His plays are known for their exploration of complex psychological and social issues, and their innovative use of language and structure. He died in 406 BCE in Macedonia.
