Euripides And His Age (1913)

Euripides and His Age is a historical and literary analysis of the Greek playwright Euripides and the cultural and political context in which he lived and worked. Written in 1913 by Gilbert Murray, a renowned classicist and professor of Greek at the University of Oxford, the book explores the life and works of Euripides, one of the three great tragedians of ancient Greece. Murray examines Euripides' plays in relation to the social and political issues of his time, including the Peloponnesian War, the rise of democracy, and the changing attitudes towards religion and the gods. He also discusses Euripides' influence on later writers and thinkers, including Shakespeare, Nietzsche, and Freud. With its detailed analysis of ancient Greek society and literature, Euripides and His Age remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of classics and ancient history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
