Getting to Know An Ancient Greek Theatre Kid, Euripides’ Life & Times
Sep 10, 2024•50 min•Season 8Ep. 641
Episode description
Continuing with the life of Euripides we look closer at 5th Century Athens and how the events happening around Euripides likely influenced his writing and the stories he wanted to tell.
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.
