Ancient Greek theaters and performances provided psychological and emotional healing for patients visiting healing centers. Dramatic performances incorporated music, which was known to have medical benefits. Witnessing performances also allowed patients to socialize as part of the healing process. Greek dramatists explored human behavior and emotions on stage to help audiences gain insight into themselves.

4. euripides2
- 2. EURIPIDES’ LIFE • Euripides, the son of Mnesarchus was a Greek playwright, who was born on Salamis Island around 484 BC and who died in Pella c. 406 BC. • He married Melito and had three sons.
- 3. EURIPIDES’ LIFE • From the 92 plays that were written by Euripides only 18 have survived. His plays express both religious belief and ancient myths. His characters' unfortunate destiny and circumstances arise from their own imperfect nature. During the last decade of his career he began to write “tragedies” that might actually be called romantic dramas, or tragicomedies with happy endings. Helen is one of them.
- 4. EURIPIDES’ LIFE • Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, Euripides was one of the three great tragic poets of ancient Greece. Even though Euripides’ plays reflect the legends and myths of a time that was different from fifth century Athens, they draw attention to issues that were prominent during his era.
- 5. EURIPIDES’ IDEAS • Euripides’ central ideas deal with problems of knowledge, language, appearance, reality, and personal existence. • Euripides was also troubled by the Peloponnesian war with Sparta which broke out in 431BC and outlived him.
- 6. EURIPIDES’ CONTEMPORARIES • Euripides lived in the time of Aeschylus and Sophocles, both writers and poets. • Socrates, a philosopher, was also an acquaintance of Euripides Socrates c. 469-399 BC
- 7. Euripides's existing plays (except the Cyclops ) belong to three basic categories. His tragedies include: • Medea (431 B.C.) • Andromache (early in the Peloponnesian War) • Heraclidae (c. 430 B.C.) • Hippolytus (428 B.C.) • Hecuba (c. 425 B.C.) • Suppliants (c. 420–419 B.C.) • Heracles (c. 420–418 B.C.) • Trojan Women (415 B.C.) • Bacchae (c. 407 B.C.). EURIPIDES’ PLAYS
- 8. His tragicomedies (plays that combine tragedy with comedy) include: • Alcestis (438 B.C.) • Ion (c. 418–413 B.C.) • Iphigenia at Tauris (414–412 B.C.) • Helen (412 B.C.)
- 9. The melodramas (sentimental dramas that often have a happy outcome) include: • Electra (c. 415 B.C.) • Phoenician Women (c. 409 B.C.) • Orestes (408 B.C.) • Iphigenia at Aulis (c. 407 B.C.)
- 10. EURIPIDES’ HELEN • Euripides’ romantic tragicomedies were unusual in that they had happy endings. • Among them was ‘Helen’. In this particular tragicomedy Euripides presents Helen of Troy as a woman of virtue. The play is set in Egypt, where the innocent Helen was transported by the gods when her double (eidolon) went to Troy. Helen tries to preserve her virtue and her husband’s life. She gladly degrades her own beauty in order to return happily to Greece with her long-lost husband, Menelaus, who presents himself as the hero of the Trojan War and the truly suitable husband for her. Yet Euripides questions the reality of this romantic fantasy. Abduction of Helen by Theseus
- 11. EURIPIDES’ INFLUENCE • The works of Euripides, which were very popular in his time are known to have influenced Roman drama. They have also shaped English and French drama, such as the work of the English playwright William Shakespeare an the French dramatist Jean-Baptiste Racine.
- 12. 1. What are the main themes in the work of Euripides? 2. Does Euripides express problems of his own era in his plays? 3. Name some of Euripides’ contemporaries. 4. Describe the basic plot of his tragicomedy Helen. 5. Name a major dramatist and playwright who were influenced by his work.
