Ok, here is the place to discuss Euripides and his tragedies.
For those of you who have read Euripides' plays will know that his plays take a complitely different tone when telling a story.
Its very rare, (if ever) that in any play by Euripides you have the ''good'' guys and the ''bad'' guys. All characters are usually as bad as each other, reader at some point feels sorry for every single character in his plays.
I thought that here we could talk about his plays like
Medea - one of my fave, i think there should be a movie about Medea, the way Euripides told it. I think the best thing in revenge is getting a revenge and getting away with it I love Medea and the lenghts she went through to get revenge.
Electra, Orestis, Hippolytus(also really good play, really powerful i recomend everyone should read, jealousy and spite are very powerful emotions), Ion, Madness of Hercules as well as Children of Hercules...and others.
Anyone else likes? Anyone read any of these? If not, i recomend them all, i think they can be accesed over the internet too.
