Euripides turned to playwriting at a young age, achieving his first victory in the dramatic competitions of the Athenian City Dionysia in 441 b.c.e. He would be awarded this honor three more times in his life, and once more posthumously. His works are characterized by their moral ambiguity, plots of intrigue, and often a separate character (usually a deity) who introduces the play with an explanatory prologue. «Hecuba» was written around 424 b.c.e., and is considered to be one of Euripides' most bleak works. In the aftermath of the Trojan War, Hecuba, the wife of Trojan King Priam, finds herself in a state of utter desolation. Her husband and sons have been killed, and her daughters either slain or given as concubines to Greek kings, and she herself has been given to the hated Odysseus. From this beautifully penned story of destruction, loss, revenge, and the consequences of war has risen one of the most tragic figures in classical literature.

Euripides, along was Sophocles and Aeschylus, is responsible for the great rise of Greek tragedy. It was in the 5th Century BC, during the height of Greece's cultural bloom, that Euripides lived and worked. Of his roughly ninety-two plays, only seventeen tragedies survive. Both ridiculed and lauded during his life, Euripides now stands as an innovator of the Greek drama. His play «Alcestis» was awarded second place upon its debut in 438 at the Festival Dionysia, the litmus test and judging...

Euripides, the youngest of the trio of great Greek tragedians was born at Salamis in 480 B.C., on the day when the Greeks won their momentous naval victory there over the fleet of the Persians. The precise social status of his parents is not clear but he received a good education, was early distinguished as an athlete, and showed talent in painting and oratory. He was a fellow student of Pericles, and his dramas show the influence of the philosophical ideas of Anaxagoras and of Socrates, with...
До нас дошла лишь незначительная доля произведений некогда богатой и разнообразной литературы Древнего Египта. Она возникла на тысячелетия раньше, чем «Илиада» и «Одиссея» и многие произведения художественного творчества народов Индии и Китая. Почти 4000 лет назад была записана легенда о «Потерпевшем кораблекрушение». Другие тексты, например «Фараон Хуфу и чародеи», записаны, правда, несколько позже, но нас разделяют почти 2800 лет. Многие сюжеты, разрабатываемые в фольклоре и литературе почти...
Одна из характерных черт римской сатиры — сугубый реализм, выразившийся в постоянном повышенном внимании авторов сатирических произведений к повседневной действительности, к так называемой «прозе жизни». Древние различали две формы сатиры: одна — исключительно стихотворная — развивалась поэтами: Луцилием, Горацием, Персием и Ювеналом; для другой характерно было смешение стихов и прозы. Блестящим развитием её являются два выдающихся произведения эпохи Нерона: «Апофеоз божественного Клавдия» и...
Геродота с легкой руки Цицерона принято называть «отцом истории», и этот титул он носит вполне заслуженно, поскольку именно его сочинение заложило основы традиций исторического описания. Его знаменитая «История» с древнейших времен была причислена к выдающимся произведениям историографии. Александрийские ученые разделили сочинение на девять книг по числу муз, и каждая книга была названа именем одной из них. Первые четыре являются обширным введением и посвящены истории Греции и ее восточных...
